Yesterday the prison chow hall was serving toastado's.....prison food is not very tasty, in fact it is very bland...so using items purchased from commissary I made home-made sauce to liven up the food. Basically its a little of this and a little of that in my sauce.
I 'm standing in line to the salad bar after getting my tray. An individual standing next to me saw my sauce bottle and all of a sudden nothing else mattered to him. The conversation went something like this. "Clutch, what is that? Homemade sauce? Let me get some?"
I said, "You wont like it!"
He said, "Yes I will, come on Clutch, just a little, man, put some on my food."
So I said, "Okay but if you don't like it, it's on you!"
"Okay, he says."
So I squirt some on his food and go about my business.
After chow I am walking down the compound and this guy is standing with some of his buddies. He yells out, "Hey, Clutch, you f___ked up my food!" I looked at him and said, "No, you f___ked up your own food - no one made you put the sauce on there. Besides you were not taking no for an answer. You just had to have some of that sauce-- so take responsibility for your own actions and don't blame me for your not liking the sauce."
He just stood there looking at me blankly. He did not understand how this was his own fault. (It is so much easier to blame someone else.)
Come to find out he didn't like mustard and there was mustard in my sauce, yet he didn't ask what the ingredients were, he just wanted something he didn't have. So he found out his way is not always right. My point here is: Contemplate, think, rationalize and ask questions before you act because if you don't your stuck with the consequences that are your own fault, your own responsibility from your own actions. You'll be much better off doing it that way.
Hope this help you and allows you a better way to be right more often than not.
Till next time, be well, be happy, and take a moment to think!
Have a nice day.... Clutch
