From One Another

When I asked the shopkeeper to give me the product I asked for, he asked for some information in return to give me the exact product I needed. I provided him with those infos, and then he suggested that it was not appropriate for my need; I might spoil the whole thing I was purchasing that product for. He instructed me not to buy right now but to consult with an expert in that field first. He also stated that he would sell if I wanted, but he doesn't recommend that purchase as it contains a risk of negative effects. Can you believe that? A salesperson is suggesting not to buy; he overlooked his scope of profit and wanted to help.

On the other hand, once I attempted a task to do half in order to save some bucks. I prepared a project, but I wasn't aware of the exact measurements that I needed to provide while editing; I thought it only mattered while printing. But they do that while editing, which I thought of doing on my own to save that amount. When I provided that resource for the final output, they didn't edit it as I didn't ask for it; they didn't even mention the misconfiguration with size and printed me that copy. It was exactly the size I asked for on paper, but the content was a little bit unorganized. Later it was rejected, and I had to pay extra money and time; that's how that experience went on.

Both of these incidents are my own; the second is seen frequently on different occasions in different ways. It took me a few years for the first one to experience after the second unpleasant; the good one comes late, is it so? Instantly his behavior hit my neurons and reminded me of all of the negative, selfish motives of the people around us.

In our society, different professions provide different services. Yeah, services, this is what it actually should have been; we should have cooperated with one another honestly to receive another honest and cooperative service. We are connected like a net with one another; if one ends gets rotten, it spreads like a virus as everyone is connected with each.

Like the incident, it's a very tiny one, but it left a huge realization inside me; maybe, on occasion, I will do the same with someone else. Maybe I will keep aside my self-interest and provide an honest opinion that might actually be beneficial to that person. These are like a chain that keeps getting longer and longer with each and every piece and we should keep contributing from our end as much as we can.
