If people could just learn the habit of not looking down on people, then we will have a better place to live in and we will as well become beneficial to each other.
There is something that has become a very common habit these days and that habit is that: whenever people get to their place of work, they begin to act like gods as if those who are coming to meet them for assistance are jobless. I know that some people can relate with this experience, where you will want to see a boss in a position and the secretary will act as if you are bothering or disturbing her when all that she is supposed to do is just to carry out her duty.
Some of them will even take it to the extent of insulting you. My friend was narrating her experience to me when she went to the bank the other day, she has a very small stature so this makes people disrespect her a lot.
She told me that while she was waiting to see one of the workers, a lady said to her, you come get this thing for me and all she did was fake a smile because she was really angry.
She felt really insulted but she said nothing until she saw the person she had come to see, but the reason why some workers act in this manner is just a thing I cannot understand. Another instance was when I had to go a government hospital sometime back for a checkup and the receptionist was playing a very loud music.
A woman was in pain and she tried to talk to the receptionist to reduce the volume of the music and all the receptionist did was to hiss and rain abusive words on the old woman.
Madam please, I was not the one who has put you in this painful condition, so do not disturb me with your issues, how does playing a loud music affect your health? the receptionist said and continued playing the music.
I was angry, but there was nothing I could do in a situation like that because this was her office and all we had to do was to get a superior officer to report the issue to.
The old woman went back to her seat and simply made a simple call which made the receptionist lose her job immediately
So many people have a very bad attitude and the most annoying part is that they begin to show their real attitude when they get to a little position of authority, they simply forget the fact that the people they are treating with disrespect also have a place where they are treated as bosses.
If only, we could change our mindset about somethings, the world will become a safe and better place for everyone to live in.
