I woke up at around 11 am, took my shower, and then went to the town. Then, we went to eat at a food court, which was quite a scene for me. I walked to a stall and asked the lady at the counter nicely with smile on my face. But I was taken aback when she treated me coldly, as if I was someone who didn't worth her time. Thinking back how she frowned at me when I was ordering food was enough to boil me up! I felt like shouting at her face, "I'm your freaking customer! How could you make me feel like dirt???"
I cursed at her in my heart (and even in a language that I thought, and prayed, that she wouldn't understand). And I didn't say a word when she said her cold 'thank you' after I paid. I forced myself to swallow the food that I ordered from her. I was so angry, annoyed, and irritated.
I cursed over and over. I glared at her stall. Even my friends told me to calm down.
But then, I felt bad. I should have just been patient enough. I felt sorry for the lady. She probably had a rough day. I guess I had just committed a sin. I was so sorry, and asked forgiveness from the Big Guy up there.
Sorry Lord...
I must have disappointed Him. There you go, Me. You've still got a lot to learn.
It was a good lesson. I know that I'm a person who couldn't tolerate impertinence because I was raised to respect and be polite to others. But I also have to know that not everyone comes from the same background as me. So that's where tolerance takes place.
Till later, toodles!
