The Art Of Being Rude

Probably this is the greatest art of all that I have identified in this short duration of my life.You may be wondering now-how can this be an art form leaving out all things – films, paintings, photography, etc?

There are many situations in life when there are friends around us whose company we do not want. But how do we inform them about this very fact? Bluntly on their face? But that would be very immature and childish. In my experience, at various levels, there were always people who had made one of the best impressions in my mind in our initial dealings. But as time passed by I realized that I would be better off without any iota of their influence in my life. So what is the solution? It may even be possible that it is very difficult for either of the parties to detach himself/herself from one another. So how do we go about dealing with them? Just pretending that ALL is WELL? How do we let them know that what they did in the past was by no means usual and was vindictive? Thus the very act of avoiding them or dealing with them is the biggest art.
