Yesterday my brother and I made a scene in the supermarket. I told him outright to apologize me and he did that on the fly. I wasn't happy about it. But I'm trying to understand. People find him the salt of the earth, and I know he's actually not. Anyway he can get advantage in having other's ear because they trust him, he probably has been overstretching to maintain the reputation. I admit that I didn't show any consolation so far. And he has an important voting event at his work for promotion. We guess the vote yes would be predominating. But who knows, some of them may want to purge him from the organization, and they might be manoeuvring under each other's breath. This is what he's worried about. I'm not gonna say this is an adversity for him, but he make believe some worst situations. I think I should bolster his confidence at this point.
