I didn't meet anyone today!
I'm a big fan of having days off... So that's what I've been doing for myself. Hanging out at home and chilling with my family.
I didn't meet anyone today, but I feel drained as though I did. I feel like I should uphold the responsibility of knowing what's going on in my country... But also, it's very draining. I read the angry, hateful comments on the internet and it stresses me out.
I feel bad for these people because I can't imagine someone being so angry all the time in their lives. I'm sure some people feel that way, and some people don't. People think that their interpretation is the right interpretation, but fail to see the importance of varying viewpoints.
It reminds me of when I got yelled at by a customer in Apple. The man was a miserable man, and he took to yelling at me because his printer didn't work with newer devices. I told him that older printers won't be compatible, and there isn't really anything we could do about it. His wife understood what I was saying, but was so embarrassed by his vitriol that she stepped outside of the store. He proceeded to tell me that he spent "thousands of dollars with this company and it's bullshit." He doesn't know what I know, which is that to Apple, "thousands of dollars" is only a fraction of what they make in a day.
Perspective is a big part of someone's experience. It's just too bad that there aren't more voices like mine; moderate and open to reason and change. That's part of the reason why maintaining this blog is important to me. It's about exploring other people's opinions, especially if they're not ones I share.
Good luck for me tomorrow!
