Right Place, Right Time

“There is a right time for everything.” I have heard this saying multiple time and never really cared about it until I was ease dropping on an argument. They were arguing about some crushed chips. I guess the dude did it on purpose because the girl was heated. This argument was going on for about ten minutes and it had escalated too much more serious things like money and his ability to hold a job. Since I did not know any of them I thought this argument was hilarious until one of her friends whispered something in the girl ear. I have no clue what it was but the girl got even angrier and punched another girl who I thought was just a bystander. I just assumed that the two people arguing were dating and the girl that got slept was the main reason why the man was broke and always tired. After she punched the girl the cops came and she got arrested. If her friend ever heard “there is a right time for everything” then no one would have got arrested for assault.

This is a perfect example of kairos because she lost the time to tell her the information that she did when she started yelling with her boyfriend. She should have waited until she was thinking straight until she told her some news like that. She probably would have acted differently if she was not already heated but that was not the case. Remember there is a time for everything and that saying the wrong thing at the wrong time could lead to someone getting into serious trouble. So next time you are about to tell someone some bad news make sure they are in their right mind so they can deal with the problem in a sane way.
