On a trip to Feilding, about 2.5 hours away from Welly, I came across an interesting second hand shop around Manchester Square. The shop was open, no one's inside, and I saw these rules written on the shop's wall.
It says:
Rules:
- If you like it buy it
- You decide the price
- No items are priced
- Shop is unattended
- Security cameras are watching you
- Please do not steal
- Please pay, be nice
- Thnx
I thought, what a wonderful world it would have been if everyone could play by this rule.
If you like it buy it. Buy only what we like (or what we need maybe?), do not buy things because your neighbors do, or because Paris Hilton wore it on TV :-p.
No items are priced, you decide the price. Shame on the big major companies gang up to set the price to get unlimited profits for themselves. I just read The Truth about the Drug Companies. See how these companies made us believe that we owe them a living for giving us this 'miracle' drugs, therefore they can charge us anything they want. They made us believe that these companies need the money to fund their R&D, while most of it is used to hire spin doctors, while the company owners and CEO are laughing all the way to the bank. On the flip side of it, we often spend countless minutes haggling over a $2 t-shirt in Cambodia or Bali, and later have a $5 cup of coffee from Starbuck while the t-shirt sellers are still living from hand to mouth.
Shop is unattended, do not steal, security cameras are watching you. The temptation is always there, we've got freewill as human being, but remember that the big guy is watching over us. And for the world full of honest people? I'll take two!
Happy Easter guys, Be Nice...
P.S. The shop's owner might just want to have some fun though :-)
