15.It warmed my heart today to walk into the Thirsty Camel downtown in the Thanksgiving Day,for a quick lunch before a haircut and library trip.Ihan,a food shop owner,said that he was refusing to take money today because it was Buy Nothing Day.To increase awareness(意识) of the strange over spending nature of our society,Ilan suggested a trade for food today.He simply asked that you offer something of equal personal value for the meal you received.At first I was really uncomfortable,wondering if it would be fair to exchange a yet to be determined"I Owe You"(IOU) for food?What could I give him of equal value?After all,his food is the best in the town!
We ended up writing our IOU's with promises of a book,some paintings and the offer of work in a variety of ways if he needs it.
I think the idea isn't that the trade is"equal"so much as the importance of the kind of transaction.We put thought into our offer and we had an even greater understanding for the meals we ate.
We don't buy a lot,especially at this upcoming time of year.We don't give gifts at all in fact.The holiday time is spent enjoying each other's company and doing things together with family and friends.This is what seems most sensible.
Ilan is a good person.We are all lucky to have someone like this in our community.
