Another Food For Thought! (must Read) by Heazy2015(m): 8:31pm On Nov 04, 2015 |
Most times when we walk into big malls,
boutiques, supermarkets, we never question
their prices.We pay exactly what we see on the
price tags and even hand out tips to the
staff.But the moment we are out of these shops
and want to buy banana, our bargaining game
gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry
children at home tells you banana is N100. She
even takes out her time to explain how difficult it
was for her to even buy it, how the economy is
so tough.But we insist that if it's not N50, we
are not paying. Some of us even step back into
our cars and make to drive away. But because
'half bread is better chin chin', this woman is
forced to call you back and sell to you at little or
no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried
about how she'll survive with her children. She
silently reassures herself that 'It's well.God will
definitely provide.'' While you happily chop the
luscious banana. Take some seconds out and
think about this, guys. Am always moved to
tears when I see people who genuinely and
helplessly hawk petty goods to feed and survive
for that day, especially women and children.
Please don't bargain hard with small vendors
like this. They do business not to buy designer
bags, Gucci shoes and designer clothes but to
LIVE and EAT for that day and the children share
the remaining money among themselves to take
to school the next day (that's if there's any left).
SHARE this message and let the CHANGE start
from you today. Repost If Found Useful..... |
