That it is. However, I got a sweet, sweet pair of boots for $50. I don't care if they're for snow. I'm wearing them now! I love being in a country where I can get shoes that fit me.
We ended up just going to the cobbler. He sewed the button back on. He said he's had three pairs of those boots come in to the shop in the last month, and they've all had the exact same problem with one of the top buttons coming off. Isn't that strange?
must be some mishap in the mechanism that sews them on... i doubt that people actually do that! by the way i've never heard of a "cobbler..." i'm glad that you got it worked out and actually kept the pair you originally chose. i always find that more satisfying somehow than an exchange.
shopping is such a heinous experience because it ignites the ego and puts it in the spotlight. i felt pretty uncomfortable to be there in that store with all of that greed and want, and to feel it inside of me too!
...but modern technology (modern comforts) are good. (they should be taken advantage of...if and when we can) You want to be warm, not cold. You deserve to be warm, not cold. Being comfortable shouldn't be seen as 'self-important' in a negative way. Besides, the Kabbalah says that if the reason for receiving is to fulfill another, (for you to be comfortable would make Jarred happy) becomes a giving act, and ultimately to the Creator.
That said, even if it (shopping) wasn't 'technically' a way to fulfill another, you should have what you want; you shouldn't feel guilty.
When I go to Blick, (my FAV art store ever) and I want...everything, (hah) in no way whatsoever do I feel the worse for wear, nor should I.
i wouldn't say that i feel guilty about it, but something has to be said for waking up in the morning feeling complete and then going into a store and somehow being convinced that if i don't buy this item i'm going to lose out. it leads one to wonder: where did this feeling come from? for me it leads to discontentment because it plants so many unnecessary seeds in the psyche.
it's very easy to want everything in a good art store; i feel you there.
that is an interesting kabbalistic philosophy. thanks for sharing it!
