THE UNRATED BREAD

Me: Madam is the bread sweet?

Madam: The bread is really sweet, and it's today's own.

Me: Madam are you sure?

Madam: Yes na. Don't worry, you'll come back for more next time. (I see her daughter eating the bread heartily, and a fellow buyer like me came and requested for that particular bread.)

Me: Madam please give me the bread.(They bring a pack that has about six and I request for just two out of the six.)

I take this bread home and keep in the kitchen. After a few hours, I go to put the bread in the fridge for breakfast the next morning, but before I do I decided to taste from it. As I took a bite, I was perplexed to why the little girl ate the bread in such a manner that you'll think it's super sweet, and I wondered why the buyer came to request for this particular bread. Wahala truly be like madman wey thief fine cloth wear to come chop food for inside restaurant.😂 (I don't know where this came from sha).

People who know me well, know that I have a thing for fresh succulent bread. I only managed to start eating bread that has stayed over a day, but if it's beyond 2 days, you are on your own.

I decided to eat this bread I could not rate that night. I jejely just made a cup of ovaltine, grabbed my husband's jam (which I usually don't like so much because it's too sweet), one carrot and one mango in addition to it. At least I need to subdue the torture of this horrible bread I used my money to purchase.

As I sat down to force down this bread I couldn't rate, I noticed it had a smell like it had a chemical and it had a funny taste and it wasn't buttery like it looked. I just wondered why the woman told me it was very sweet and succulent, and why her daughter ate the bread like it was the sweetest bread she had ever had. What came to my mind was that; people are different, see things differently, have different likes and dislikes and have different opinions.

I couldn't blame the lady or tell my myself she lied to me because she said what she tasted and her daughter had the expression of what she tasted too. To them and the person that came to buy it, it's very sweet, to me it's not good at all.

You know this thing about forcing people to see things from your perspective? It's wrong, stopeet!!

The Rich would say that a 40,000 perfume is cheap, the middle class would say it's on the high side and a poor person would say it's outrageously expensive. Same item, different people with different orientation and background, with different opinions.

The next time you want to blame someone, think about their orientations. I can't say this woman lied because her daughter wouldn't have eaten the bread in such manner just to convince me to buy.

Incase you skipped to the last paragraph, the summary of this rate less bread is, we shouldn't judge people based on our ideologies or opinions. We should understand that we are all different, come from different backgrounds, have different orientations, and that could influence the way we perceive things.

I had a terrific bread experience, but I learnt, or rather I'll say I was reminded of the importance of not judging people from my perspective.

Less judgements in this world would make the world a more understandable and a seemingly better place.

However, the bread, I buy not ever; and the woman I ask not of her opinion on things with taste.

I rest my case.✌️
