I saw a very queer thing the previous day in the market. Knowing that the value of Rupee has gone down to a great extent I was surprised to see a shopkeeper having dangled a small price board declaring the item price ‘Rs: 103’. The amount 103 seemed very different to me. No one would ever give importance to the unit 3 in the whole price because it worth really very small. It wasn’t usual. The shopkeeper should have increased it up to ‘Rs: 110’ or else it should have been ‘Rs: 100’, but the idea of ‘Rs: 103’ was just not getting down my throat. After a short conflict with my reasoning I came to understand something. Not that I understood the reason for that I would never ask the shopkeeper such an obvious thing and to be seen as an idiot. It might be the actual price, what can I say about it.
I just needed to learn something out of it cause it wasn't really a usuall Item price one could find in the market.
What I understood is a principle of life. What if the shopkeeper would have ignored and increased the price up to ‘Rs: 110’. It means he has given the seven rupees worth to be ignored, not just by him but every other person will fall in this trap. My prophet said that the market is a place where the SHATAANs are really present in a good number. And yes it is right. Think what happens when the rates go high and the things become unreachable for the common men and hence creating the sense of discrimination which further results in the crimes and violation of everyone’s right. Thus destroying the whole community and law.
The worth is what we build our self, no matter of what thing. If we give small worth to small money then automatically a desire for large amount of money will rise among the people. They will no longer be satisfied with small money. The poor will be worth smaller than the richer one’s. If the shopkeeper is giving a considerable worth to the money then he is really stabling the whole community. If he gives little worth to seven rupees then the other day he will be raising the amount by seven still more. Because he has already ignored seven yesterday and 'worth' is what doesn’t have to be built again and again every day from the start. If you gave something little worth then you will not hesitate to give it the same worth the second time. It’s a point to ponder.
That shopekeer was really doing the right thing. He was actually controlling the whole community's orderliness and peacefulness.
Anyways I walked back home happily after that. :p
