April 30th, after hanging in my pass and work computer, said goodbye to my colleagues, wrapping up my contract with AIA for 2 years, and rushed to the 12:45pm ferry back to Cheung Chau. It is getting hot, tourists started to crowd the street of town center. Because this is the starting of the long weekend. We decided to go for a walk while it is still sunny, maybe play with the dogs in Windsurfing center a bit then do some shopping afterwards.
Walking back from the windsurfing center, passing the Garden, the pub ran by Melissa and Peter, we were about to stop to chat to Melissa about Fei Fei. Fei Fei is in a habbit to patrol the town center, visiting people she knows (and know her), waiting for treats. As getting closer to the Garden, an old lady and a young girl were shouting at each other, an old guy on the bicycle trying to separate them. With the old guy as the center, the 2 women chased each other in circle, and eventually one caught on and slapped the other. Being slapped and dumbfounded one woke up and chased the other. It sounds like the young girl walked while reading her phone, bumped into the old lady and thus the conflict. While 2 ladies escalated the action, a young man ran over and shouted at the young girl "get your hand off my mother". He then pushed her hard and she fell flat on the floor, drink spilled and the back of her head hit the floor. Things are out of control.
Why the anger has controlled the situation? Animal instinct has takent the driver seat, trivial incidents escalate into a serious insult, grudges beared for life. Relationship destroyed and cannot be repaired. I have a few family members are the prisoners of Anger, speaking out of personal experience.
