the lady walks by the perfume store... the smells fill her nose and she is lost in pleasure... happy in every sense. She walks into the store not to purchase but to simply say to the store owner. Wow this smell is incredible I wish I could smell it all the time. The store owner smiles and thanks the lady for her kind words and the day moves on. Two days later, another lady walks by, coughing and gagging. Instead of walking away from the horrid smell in her nose she follows it and end up talking to the same store owner. This smell is horrid! she says to him... she tells him to figure out how to get the smell out of the air and she is going to make a complaint to the mall which he works for. The mall owner notifies him that he can no longer spray his fragrance, he says but people love the smell, it is how i attract them to my store. The mall owner replies we have been receiving complaints and you must stop.

My question is simply this, why do we aim to please the unhappy, instead of keeping the happy, happy? The smell could equally make people as happy as unhappy... but you say if the lady wants to smell it she should buy it, i say if she wants to smell it she can smell it... if the lady doesnt want to smell it dont walk by the store and dont look for it... because you choose what u do... if the salesmen wants to shout cus words to attract that type of customer... then plug ur ears and walk by... but if you like that then go in.... what happened to people being able to do things simply because they are people not because of the laws and rules that govern them and fear of what will happen if they be who they are so longing to be....
