So, today I learned a very valuable lesson. Although the incident that taught me the lesson wasn't very, hm...what should I call it, very reasonable, it taught me something very important.
It all started with a pair of Sperry's shoes. Yes, yes I know. But the shoes very cute and I was soo happy cause I found them for cheap but they ended up being too tight. So I returned the shoes today and when I got home, I discovered that Sperry's are not to be worn with socks. If I had known that earlier, I wouldn't have needed to return them because they fit perfectly without socks. I got a bit frustrated and a whole bunch of thoughts started running through my mind. Thoughts like how I would have been so much happier with those shoes, how I could have matched those shoes with some of the shirts that I have. And the more I thought about this, the more upset I got that I had made such an unbelievable choice.
Then it occured to me. In this lifetime, people are always looking for things to make better off. We don't look at what we already have and appreciate that. We have a hunger for wanting more than what we can fit on our plate. Our culture, our civilization, our people have such a high demand of wanting what they can't get that when they get it, they want to go along with it. I'm glad that I have learned a little part of this lesson because even though I would still love to have those shoes, I think what's gone should be forgotten and I should appreciate what I have right now.
