foot, for thought?
had an impromptu foot massage at i12 after my hair cut. it is my second visit at this outlet; the other time, it was pleasant, with no hard selling at all. this time round, there was, on the pretext that my package is ending soon. though i still have 5 sessions left. lady A tried to set the stage, while lady B, presumably her bigger counterpart/boss (and yes, size wise too), tried hard selling to me.
i politely rejected one time, and was counter-proposed. the second time, they still went on. there, i kept staring at my watch. the third time, i said no firmly, and lady B rolled her eyes on me. i left without much thinking, rather than to pick on a fight. but as i left, i wondered, if i should have rebutted her, much so for wasting my time. neither is she respecting my privacy, my right to choose as a customer. i suppose the next time, i wouldn't be too nice on her.
as i walked back home, i wondered. why are we all built this way? we all ain't perfect, but we strive at most times to be. what is the purpose of our being here, as humans, and what are we to learn, as we close our lids (well, hopefully) when our time is up? neither are we just random occurrences in this mystery of a universe, or is there something more purposeful to it? and while i'm not perfect, i'll strive still to be. i understand we all have our fair shares of problems, by nature (life chance) or nurture (our experience, the way we've grown up come very much to shape who we are today). but why couldn't us all at least attempt to have a little basic respect for each other?
i suppose it's too much to think about this time. so yeah, i'll leave it as it is. in the meantime, channel my focus and energy to something else, like learning edge animate. that said, would anyone like to join me on a foot massage? it's on me. /wink.
