Poet, that's a good point, that she lost a sale, that she is the loser. I happen to know, however, that this woman is very successful in her business.
Recently, another person greeted me with simliar hostility. I responded with kindness, and was able to walk away feeling really good.
What I would really have liked to do to the first woman was throw her down and pull her hair until she screamed. I would have liked to have knocked her booth down and broken every bottle on it. No, what I would have liked to have done, what would have been really satisfying would have been to be able to say to her what I couldn't get out of my mouth at the moment which was an accusation of meaness and ugliness.
What I would like would be to have the choice of what I would do. I would like to be able to say to my self, Self, you can either do a,b or c. Hmm, lemme see, I think I'll call her a mean toad and laugh. Ha!
I am learning, learning al the time. Thanks for your words, Poet.
