Now, over the years, I have learnt to think of my duties alone and not the needs. Whatever needs I have, god takes care of them. I just have to watch against being too greedy and be reasonable.
However, I work in a market place. Money is the most valued commodity and everything has a price tag on it. Bargaining is a part of every interaction.
When someone approaches me, his tome is different and the moment I approach someone his tone is different. His mind starts working on anticipating my expectations. What do I want him to do? What price I am ready to pay?
When he fails to find out any of my needs, he thinks me to be a fool. Thinks that I am selling happiness for a fraction of its worth- almost free and he can manipulate me easily.
After a while, he realizes he has been extracting toffees and candies, when he could have very well extracted much more. The tone changes and becomes demanding.
This is where he realizes that I am not a fool. He can very well get what he wants but he can not be unreasonable. His pockets are too small to hold all this.
Now, he thinks me to be an evil. Playing with him for some long term selfish gain. So long that he can not anticipate the outcome. This is where he starts running away from me. Majority of my interactions end here.
However, there are some really strong people, maybe desperate. They keep on sticking with me. They keep on getting what they expect from me and over a period of time, they start treating me like a god.
I have not yet met a single soul, who knows the way out of this market place, that way to countryside- where skies are open and sunshine is free of cost.
What should I do? May be its time to sleep?
