Not a read but I have a stupid story that moved me in some way. I too hate a lot of this world.
I went to the supermarket the other day and saw my cashier who looked somewhat disabled in the face. He carried an awkwardness that was almost recognizable but incomplete from my point of view behind the customer before me. When it was my turn to be rung up, I noticed he clearly had cerebral palsy affecting his left arm, not severely, but enough that it was obvious then.
I had bought some ginger root and when he saw it his face lit up like child's the night before his birthday, with a sense of impeding joy that cannot, and should not, be kept hidden.
He asked the simple question of a cashier, "What is this?" in regards to the produce that he had to ring up.
"It's ginger root," I told him as a smile grew on his face.
"I love the smell of ginger," he grinned as he brought the sealed bag to his nose to smell. "My mother has these candles with a ginger scent. It reminds me of Christmas," he admitted, all smiles.
"Yeah like gingerbread right?" I replied as he nodded his head in agreement. I explained how to make a nice ginger tea, that's also good for the stomach, or just to boil sliced ginger root in a pot and let the aroma fill his house up in the absence of a candle.
He told me he would try that out, and asked if I would pay with a card. I absentmindedly told him cash, to which he said that was fine, although he slightly struggled to retrieve it from me. I offered to pay with my card but he replied to me, "No it's fine," and with a smile on his face stated, " when I first started working here cash was much harder for me to work with. But I've gotten better at it and like the practice anyways," as he was twitching his left hand and trying to find the right angle of his wrist to complete the simple task of making my change.
Enjoy the little things in life user. Focus on them. I know it sounds stupid but this kid was so happy for the smell of ginger, despite the disability he was born with. And he wanted to overcome his state by working with cash instead of a card, again simple and perhaps stupid, but powerful. It reminds me of when my brother was on zombie pills for bipolar, something his shrinks said he would never get off (which he did and better now). He was in this zombie state and I saw him run his hand through the leaves of a tree in the sunshine and just appreciate what he could in that state. However it can help you, I hope you can understand it and see the small beauty life has to offer.
