After my first day as a waitress, all I can say is, to be condescended one must be projecting self-consciousness rooted in insecurity.
You don’t mind someone’s training/teaching way when you recognise your lacks. Younger, in age and soul, people teaching me how to even pour a draught beer without it being more foam than drinkeable beer, or how to work a coffee machine, could’ve easily made me feel condescended for the way they went about it, but instead I took what I was there to take. The lesson, played along, thanked them for I knew I was learning, and trying to act almighty no matter qualifications.
Made sure I was reliable, attentive, proactive, to the point I was supposed to learn floor, food passing, clearing and whatnot, and ended up learning the whole thing, also the role I wasn’t enacting, the one I thought I was going to get, but didn’t. Bartending. I didn’t even needed to have it in my contract, cause a great student doesn’t see walls, simply because their teachers allow them in willingly, as the student learns willingly.
No one says Yoda was condescending, but put an insecure person in front of them and they’ll think they’re all high and mighty, condescending, unnecessarly wise. The joke is on the person that doesn’t know how to recognise where they lack and the blessing of the person that can fill that cup.
We had the most fun, I’m loved beyond measure cause people enjoy teaching me. Learned two roles in one, and in one day, front customers to team members giving me compliments for simply being me, effort embodied, everywhere I go, no need to front. If I fake it trust I wouldn’t be putting effort, as it wouldn’t be me to not put effort into what I value. Until I don’t and then it’s a cut, or I stick around enough to see my work pay off, if I need the inspiration to my next student.
I got: caring, efficient, collaborative, proactive, understanding, prompt, independent, reliable, someone that could take on step 3 in step 1, … it was just great.
This goes to tell, to all those brought into this odessey, what they lacked was confidence to show what they deem vulnerable, as vulnerability in their world is attached to lack. In mine vulnerability is what gets you further ahead than anyone else, unmatched, relentless, inavoidable, unfuckwithable, all those great fancy words they dream to have, but couldn’t get themselves.
Their lacks were made public, cause they couldn’t handle the heat of being held accountable in private. They can blame me all day, but where given one’s lacks others pay for, we cannot pass a blind eye. And with the amount of people who see them as such an inspiration, they could not go on without seeing the harm they keep choosing to inflict, by negligence, insecurity, immaturity and ignorance.
Watch out for this weekend’s premier, there will be a lot to talk about. And to those who stayed behind adn didn’t take themeelves further, cause we are all boosters to each other, and we all have the capability to shaoeshift ourselves imto the spacecraft itself. There’s no ” not everyone can come with you” it’s more of a ” not everyone chooses to rise with you”, and again if’ we’re rising to climb mount everest, it’s fine, but when we’re rising in collective responsibility well, it only tells you about individual’s priorities.
Choose both your students and master right, with consciousness. I highlighted some for you who play big characters, but have no character.
Thank me later.
So yeah to see others as condescending is a projection of the many faces the mirror of insecurity takes on. No one is condescending, we are condescended. Just like no one is intimidating, we get intimidated.
They are all illusions of insecurity, as insecurity is an illusion of the mind that doesn’t have education on what real security is.
