eBay – the greatest shop in the world.
When I was a child there were high-street stores that sold the myriad of knickknacks that make and personalise a home. Now, years later, many of those stores have been driven out by large franchises and out of town retail parks. Those new superstores carrying the most profitable and popular lines of items, with rarely bought items not stocked.
At the same time global communications and transport and an entrepreneurial spirit have meant more innovations and variations of item being manufacturers around the world.
eBay may have a reputation for a place to buy and sell second-hand goods, but it is also gloriously full of entrepreneurs around the globe eager to sell their products. if you can visualise the thing you need, it is likely you will find it on eBay, pay for it with PayPal and be able to have it delivered to your door in the next week. What’s more in many cases you can find items cheaper than you might at a high-street store. Granted there are fakes and frauds, just as one might find at a town market, but these become easy to recognise with experience.
I believe that eBay is the greatest shop in the world.
False accusation
Sometimes one is falsely accused. Maybe from friend or family or stranger. I believe in almost all cases false accusations stem from misunderstandings and that the only way to resolve them it through honest communication.
Sadly the accusation itself may create an environment in which that is not possible. I believe that the best one can do is plainly state one’s case, to try and understand each other’s beliefs and to try and understand how the miss understanding might have come about. There is nothing more one can do. Too vigorous defence may inflame tensions and make the matter worse. while it may hurt one has to accept the right of another to believe something different to oneself. Though a cliché sometimes “time is the best healer”.
One may learn lessons on how to avoid future misunderstandings, but for the most part one has to live one’s life. The misunderstanding may leave scars on both sides of hurt and distrust. These scars can be covered over but will never heal completely until the issue is resolved. The required honest communication cannot be forced or finessed, only prayed for.
