Two rave about it, two hated it, shall I go? \u00a0A friend and I spoke earlier of our love of Mediterranean cuisine and he mentioned a favorite local restaurant I’d not visited. \u00a0I went online to read reviews about it and read a couple that were particularly scathing. \u00a0After reading the same reviews on several sites, the authors were revealed and I saw they were two Facebook friends. \u00a0Apparently they had such a vividly poor experience they felt it necessary to post their review on several websites. \u00a0I understand that. \u00a0What they don’t understand is that they attracted to themselves the experiences they had, and that their experience did not have to be anyone else’s. Hence me hearing raving reviews from other regular diners, and having an excellent experience myself.
\nLife has taught me that two people sitting side by side doing the same thing can have two very different experiences. An entire neighborhood can be tornadoed away and one home left standing.\u00a0 Someone else’s experience does not have to be your experience.<\/p>\n
Last year, a friend and I were sitting in a sunny clearing in my woods eating clementine oranges. We had a little basket of them between us.\u00a0 Tony can be a real pouty puss sometimes, although he\u2019s a really cool guy.\u00a0 But he does seem to focus on things around him that are not going well, and he’s vocal in criticizing the news, the government, etc. So we\u2019re sitting and eating the clementines, which I\u2019d been buying all month.\u00a0 He\u00a0 complained that \u201cthese tangerines were good but they had so many seeds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet I\u2019d eaten 2 dozen of them in a 2 week period with nary a seed.\u00a0 He was getting seeds and I was not.\u00a0 He was not fibbing; I saw him spitting out seeds.\u00a0 So I hand him my clementine and take his.\u00a0 He bites into mine and finds a seed.\u00a0 I eat the rest of his with no seeds. We did the same with two more clementines.\u00a0\u00a0 That made me take note that being a pouty puss ( translation = focusing on the stuff of the news, the troubles of the world and thinking anything ever needs to be different than it is,)\u00a0 pretty much guarantees you\u2019ll come across seeds, even in seedless fruits.\u00a0 It guarantees you’ll attract poor quality food and service when dining out.\u00a0 I so know it\u2019s about vibrational matching.\u00a0 Yes, even when I am the one getting the seeds and the poor service. Especially then.<\/p>\n
