Recapping …
Those neurotic hormones taking over your brain … turning you into a disgusting and disgusted person…don’t you just HATE that?!
Do you feel that not being able to attain something increases your desire for having it?
Okay …so
You’re going inside a building. a person is behind you. you hold the door open for that person … what would you naturally expect? A ‘Thanks!!’, maybe?
Alright. You are in the check-out line at the supermarket. You have 3 items. The person in front of you has a cart full. The person sees that you only have 3 items and tells you to go ahead of him. You move ahead of him in line without saying a word. you turn back to him. You feel like he’s about to utter something, but your eyes start wandering elsewhere. Then they wander back at him. Now, he looks puzzled. Why do you think that is?
Or…
You send a question to a friend via email …and ask for a response. eagerly awaiting a response, you check your email every few hours … and if you’re patient enough, you’d wait without sending a barrage of probes. you’d wait, but
a day passes, no response
2 days pass, none
3, nothing
Would you naturally get frustrated? why??
How about this…
You send something to a friend through mail … you send it “Just Because.” You don’t expect anything in return … do you think this ‘anything’ you don’t expect should also include ‘Thanks’ or ‘Thank you’? Do we have to say Thank you? What if we don’t want to? Would you mind?
Thank you for reading!
