During the counselling ethics class taught by Sunita today, we were discussing values, so given the following list:

  • Freedom
  • Sexuality
  • Family
  • Career
  • Health
  • Control
  • Pleasure

we were supposed to rank them according to their importance in our own value system.

When Maithili and Shelly discussed their values, I commented on it, commenting "caged bird", and "that explains why you're wearing like that".

Thinking back, I shouldn't have said those. It doesn't add any value to the lesson. While what I said was spontaneous, it doesn't do anyone any good when I made those comments. In fact, if I were in their positions, I wouldn't want those comments to be made on me as well.

I need to realize this issue and not make the same mistake again.
