Smoking
Hi, ridho. How are you? It's been long since I saw you. Wait for a
Second! When did you start smoking?
Adrian: Oh really? It's been six months? Why did you start smoking?
Ridho: Umm, there is nothing particular about it. I just felt that it amuses me.
And you know it is up to the will of a person to decide what he wants to
do.
Adrian: I get it, mate. But I don't think you should smoke here. It's a public
place. I am afraid your smoking may not irritate someone who is
allergic to it.
Ridho: Sorry but I don't think it would cause some problem for anyone
because it is I myself who is smoking. I am not forcing anyone nor I
am violating anyone's freedom.
Adrian: Brother, I understand your logic. Yes, I do agree with that. But the
point I am trying to make is that you are not alone here. Your act
certainly affects others.
Adrian: Look, you are puffing the cigarette and blowing its smoke around.
Although only your are smoking, your smoke is obviously irritating
others.
Ridho: So you mean to say that it is not me but my smoke that can irritate
someone?
Ridho: Thank you for drawing my attention to this. I would not have known
this if you had not taught me so kindly.
Adrian: You are always welcome, ridho A responsible citizen is the one who
Fullfills his moral and social responsibilities. I am pleased to hear
this
from you.
Ridho: Okay, adrian. Thanks again! I have to leave now. Would you call me in
the evening so we can meet?
Adrian: For sure, friend. I'll call you. Then we will plan to meet over a cup of
tea.
