As a Christian woman, I really subscribe to the idea that we are called to be living sacrifices, and also to consider others. I get very frustrated when people only think of themselves and nobody else. I am also guilty of this in some instances. I am in no way claiming innocence. We live in a democratic society; people have different tastes and preferences. How do we then balance this freedom with considering other people’s needs? In my office environment, tension has been caused by an issue of people preferring the aircon 24 hrs a day, on the other hand some of us have allergic and health reasons why we do not want an aircon. Whose needs are to be prioritized? The answer is really not black and white. All I know is that I am willing to consider the guys with “hot flushes”, but I am also concerned about the medication I have to gulp down almost every day of my life because of my sacrifice. What is it doing to my health?
I hope next time I write I will have answers and hopefully will have resolved this issue.
