How do we know this isn’t a set up that’s being filmed? With all the reality shows on television and the billion Tik Tok shots spreading across the planet, when do we know this moment is about to become someone else’s laughter? I’m not convinced that people act awkward because of conditions but rather ambitions to gain access to another person’s shock and reaction. I face weird situations all the time. I don’t showcase any type of emotion. My goal is to always reach for a solution first. A father that runs up to me in customer service urgently needing attention because his daughter has urinated on the floor. I walk to the scene. Take note of the situation on the floor. The only thing abnormal is the puddle on the floor. The child didn’t look wet nor was there a diaper bag in the basket or in their arms. Hmmm. The mission was to clean it up. Solutions not reactions. I learned how to perfect this in martial arts. To clear the mind body and soul of anything that would stand in the way of making the best decision. The man who shouts at the top of his lungs about how he’s been offended and he’s a lawyer and needs names right now. Solutions not reactions. The guests that run into the store two minutes before closing. The outfits they wear are outrageously made for a Tik Tok video. Dogs labeled working that make messes on the floor. I don’t question nor do I get angry. The solution provides the best path to bring the situation to a peace filled conclusion. I do wonder though. Where are the cameras?
