One thing about the human condition that I have always been
|
||
|
|
particularly struck by, is its enormous potential for being much like a
|
||
|
|
coin -- easily reconginizable by each side for what they are worth, but
|
||
|
|
two-sided none-the-less.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Salesmen. (also known as sales people for those of us in
|
||
|
|
Generation X, the haven of political correctness... doesn't this second
|
||
|
|
name just make salesmen even more like a coin then the rest of us?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway, salesmen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ever work with any? I work with computer salesmen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Salesmen are the epotiomy of the human condition. In their real,
|
||
|
|
everyday, personal lives, most salesmen are extraordinarily giving of
|
||
|
|
themselves and of their earnings. They are there for their loved ones
|
||
|
|
in all possible ways -- to give a hug, or to pay the rent. But then,
|
||
|
|
come 9 am, they transform into something different. A vicious animal
|
||
|
|
which stalks "customers", examining their every move; gobbling their
|
||
|
|
every word; scrutinizing their every gesture in order to determine how
|
||
|
|
to play on mankind's desire to trust; how to walk hand in hand with the
|
||
|
|
"customers" ego -- making them feel knowledgable about keyboards, and in
|
||
|
|
need of a Intel Pentium II 450 XEON, a purchase which would allow them
|
||
|
|
to take their already existing knowledge, and AMAZING ability to learn,
|
||
|
|
and become a GENIUS.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Despite these two separate identities housed in one carnal body,
|
||
|
|
each personality reveals the same thing about the "person" they comprise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What does it mean to give of oneself to another? If you "get what
|
||
|
|
you give", according the the golden rule we all have had drilled into our
|
||
|
|
fragile heads, doesn't it mean that a "selfless" giving of oneself is
|
||
|
|
accompanied by a subconscious desire to receive the same in return? In
|
||
|
|
essence, we do things for other's, and secretly put a check next to that
|
||
|
|
person's name in the little scorebook in our heads while whispering to
|
||
|
|
ourself "(insert name of victim here) Owes me now :)"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As for the identity that exposes itself between the hours of 9 am
|
||
|
|
to 5 pm, with its deep comprehension of a person's weak points -- this
|
||
|
|
personality cares not for the individual on which they focus their
|
||
|
|
attention. No, this identity cares only of the money to be made by
|
||
|
|
another's ignorance (which, essentially, is what all jobs, including
|
||
|
|
specialized labor, rely on). Money which can be spent on another, and
|
||
|
|
returned in a form of a favor that "money can't buy".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One thing about the human condition that I am particularly struck
|
||
|
|
by, is its enormous potential for being much like a coin -- easily
|
||
|
|
recognizable by each of its sides for being worth JACK SHIT.
