• If you are in the mood to ponder something, here is some food for thought.

  Self- importance is our greatest enemy.

  Think about it–what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men.

  Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.

  This is such a simple concept that you would thank an intelligent person such as myself could grasp it easily. This simply is not true because, for some reason or another, I find it easy to ignore. Case in point. I talked with T-Mobile on the telephone yesterday and solidified in my mind that this is not a user friendly organization. Of course, I solidify that in my mind every time I talk to them. I called them to update my credit card for my easy pay program and was told that they could not do that over the telephone because of some regulation from the Federal Communications Commission. She then proceeded to give me a list of options and I proceeded to tell her that she was complicating a simple problem and I was curious as to whether they trained her to be user unfriendly. The bottom line is that I was offended and still am. How dare them ask me to go online and change the card myself. All this after waiting 23 minutes and 30 seconds to talk to them during which I was disconnected three times.

  Oh well!!! Maybe I’ll grow up someday.

  Peace brothers and sisters
