it's that or that

In life, you always come to situations where you'd have to choose a T-shirt to wear. The T-shirt situation, it is known as. Though there isn't much choices off the shelf. Not your typical departmental store, the situational store offers only 2 options. The Guilt T-shirt, or the Resentment T-shirt. Oh, and did I mention that once in the store, you might have to wear whatever T-shirt the storeowner throws at you? Right, let me help you understand the workings of this theory.

eg. Tarzan & Jane lives happily in the jungle. One day, Jane gets an offer to teach at this ape-school in another jungle, and she tries to persuade Tarzan to go along. Tarzan, having lived in his jungle all his life, decides that he'd prefer to stay rather than go. Thus, Jane stays because Tarzan is reluctant. So you see, in this situation, Tarzan has worn the Guilt T-shirt because he had made Jane give up something she really wants. And Jane, wearing this Resentment T-shirt, because she had really wanted to go to the other jungle but had stayed because Tarzan is reluctant.

3 days later...

Tarzan decides that he should make Jane happy, and he announces that he'll move to the other jungle with her. Jane of course, filled with ecstasy, starts packing her bags and throwing kisses at Tarzan. A week passes, Jane settles down comfortably, but Tarzan is still trying hard to make friends with the animals. Ahh..this time round, Jane throws on the Guilt T-shirt for having made Tarzan leave his comfy little tree-house. And Tarzan, at this point, wears the Resentment T-shirt, and I bet you know why.

See see, the T-shirt situation. And poor Tarzan & Jane. No living happily everafter huh..
