What are you going to be today? Fart spray or Room freshener?

I am annoyed.
I am angry.
I am enlightened, all within a period of about 5 min.

A man was looking for gloves for cleaning.  He was about 5 feet away from me and asked a man that was working there where he could find them and the worker said we don't have those.  I said to both men, are these the ones you are looking for?  Customer man completely ignored me.  I repeated myself because I realized what was going down.  He was of the persuasion that believes women to be ignorant and should only be allowed to speak in certain circumstances so I wasn't going down without a fight.  I repeated myself several times and when the worker man also realized what was going on he showed the man the gloves and all of a sudden the customer had what he needed glared at me and walks off.

Seriously?  There is a word that I would typically insert here but my mom might read this so I will simply say.  Donkey!

My mother was with me at the time so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it or embarrass her so I gathered my things and headed for the register at which point I met the antithesis to Donkey.

He was lovely!  So kind, so welcoming, so appreciative and friendly.  He was so sweet to my mama, he was so thankful for our presence.  I wanted to bake him cookies and send a note home to his mama to thank her for raising such a wonderful son!  Man number 2 completely erased the bad feeling I was having about the Donkey that I had just been subjected to.

I received the most obvious life lesson all within a period of 10 min, do you know what it was?

There are jerks out there, people who are not going to like you for something that you can do nothing about,  your gender, the color of your skin, your age,  a multitude of things, but here is the life lesson.

There are also people that appreciate you for what you are and even for what you aren't.  They appreciate the fact that you are another human and know that you have something to contribute to this world.  Do you seriously want to be the person that brings others down, or would you rather be the person that  makes people feel good about themselves?  To me this is a no brainer.

If you spray fart spray in a room that you are confined to do you not then in turn reap the torture that is the fart spray yourself?  If you spray a pleasant smelling room freshener does it not have the same effect, only with a much more pleasing end?  We are all confined to this planet until we are either planted in it or the Lord comes back.  So, what are you?  Fart spray or room freshener?

Go out...Be kind.
