Service people everywhere, I salute you.



Backstory

Wanna start projecting respect to those people strong enough to suffer other people's class-based crap. Young and old, no matter why your job involves customer service, you deserve respect. Everyone's been there. And guess what? They ruin far less lives than CEOs and the like. I can proudly say I've never ruined a cashier or a waiter's day. I think of karma incrementally. I'm saving up.

I'm sure you're amazing everyday, but most of your writing is far too theoretical for my tiny brain. However, there are other days, like today, when you nail it. I especially love, "I think of karma incrementally, I'm saving up". I'm sure you can work that into a great six. Have a lovely day.

Lovely. I echo lovely's comments.

illuminatrix says,

Thanks very much. I don't try to be too complex but certain theoretical, metaphorical frameworks seem too important not to employ, and I basically make mastery (proficiency) of metaphor an almost religious goal, so I don't like to strain thoughts through too many filters, fearing they'll lose important sediment. (guilty as I type) I'm very glad when anyone 'gets' anything, but especially so when it's more dense or layered. But I'm always striving to connect, to be understood, to share worthy analogies and appreciate others', and especially to use the haiku-like precision of sixing to 'extrude' a better understanding of myself, my world and all its weird, fascinating interconnections.
Blah blah, I appreciate the kind comments (the feedback in general too). You two included, there is an amazing talent pool on this site, and I'm loving the interaction.
