We live in a society where people feel, they have freedom to talk to others they way they like and feel a particular point in time. Some will go far to say there is freedom of speech and i will add does it give you the right to use suvh freedom of speech to hurt another with your word.
I try as much as possible to control my angry when i am offended especially when i am out from the house, i rather stay mute than to alter a word which i know i will regret it later.
Yesterday night i stepped out for my normal night business and i was emotionally down still i give my customers that smiling face to show i appreciate them for patronizing. But you know, some of them just wanted to add to my life challenge and i tried ad much as possible to stay far away from it.
But one of them stepped on it so bad that my woman pride was tampled on coupled with my emotional stress from home.
One big man which i dont know from no where came to buy from me, i greeted him politely with a smile, he responded very well and he asked how much I'm selling a liter of fuel which i told him since the fuel station have increased the price unlike before and the man in his polite mouth would have said his price and i will either agree to it or told him not, i even tried explaining to him why the price is incrrased and the man which in my mind i thought was a rich responsible reasonable man used his mouth to tell m ""common shut up"* haba it hasn't gotten to that na still i ignored him and was ready to sell for him not untill he told him, i dont know who he is that he can deal with me, that was when i became angry, return his rubber to him, told him sir take it somewhere else and buy. He started cursing himself in and out.
How on earth will you talk to a lady like that in the public, how on earth will a man act so irresponsible?
I was so angry and hurt.
In as much as the economy of Nigeria is frustrating that doesnt give anyone the right to go out and pour the frustration on someone else.
Mind how you relate with people outside, mind how you talk to people, you dont know what the person is going through and adding pains, angry and more demeaning words to the life of another person is not good.
Good morning friends and happy Tuesday.
