festering



I'm at Radina's. and I'm watching a catastrophe unfold.

This middle aged couple ordered lunch. Two sandwiches. I think the person who brought the sandwiches out brought the guy's sandwich to the wrong table. So the couple, the one whose one sandwich didn't show up, is just sitting there. Getting increasingly upset. And I was just thinking that this is a lot like life, right? We get upset about something and then just let it fester until we go and demand our money back. From the outside, I can tell that it is just a misunderstanding and, JUST GO TELL THE PEOPLE AT THE COUNTER AND THEY'LL MAKE YOUR SANDWICH, DON'T GET UPSET! But how often do people probably want to say that to me? This should be a learning experience about how I should just let people know when I am hurt or upset or feeling like I haven't been treatly justly. Just share these feelings, before they become HUGE AND LIFE-THREATENING.


I am fairly certain, however, that I will continue in my silent, bottling ways.

Ah, well.
