Don't think less of craftsmen please.

Ok so i bought a table, one item of my wishlist if you noticed, an IKEA Muddus Fold Table - Black. So i got home, set the box down on the floor, opened it with the intent of assembling the whole thing myself. Half an hour later............. found that i can't do it myself. Needed someone to hold the frames up steady while i screw the nails onto them. THEN, after struggling for another half hour, found that i put one part to the wrong side, so i gotta take it apart and re-do it. GRRRR. THEN, after finished assembling the thing happily, realized that those things sticking out of one side of the frame are meant to support the foldable part of the table AND i put it on the wrong side! SO! With that bombshell i say heck it. SIGH. I'll probably disassemble the darned thing again tommorrow morning and reassemble it again.

Anyway, point is, please don't think less of people craftmanship field and building and what not. It's not as easy as it looks. For those who cry "But after doing it over and over and over again for years and years it's easy!" Well doesn't the same apply to everything? So while i'm at the topic of thinking less of people doing what we perceive as 'less' tasks. With hightlighting the word 'perceive'. I'll focus on domestic helpers (the politically correct term), otherwise known as Maids. I've noticed a lot more cases on newspapers of employers abusing their maids for whatever reason. Whether it's by pinching them till they're blue black all over, searing them with ironers, banging their heads to a table, kicking them, these examples are just from reported cases. Of course there's the more subtle and cunning mental torture way, which is more difficult to proof and punish.

Listen people, just because you're educated and have important jobs, does not mean that you can do whatever you please on people less fortunate. As i state before what they do, we may perceive as 'less' but it's still a skill. For example, domestic helpers need to find out what you prefer to eat and what you can't eat and adjust accordingly. Say you don't like noodles, how would you feel if she makes mee goreng every single meal? It's a learning process that takes time too you know adjusting to what their employers require them to do, just like any degrees/diplomas out there. So be kind to everyone, regardless of what they do and appreciate what they do to help improve the quality of their lives and in extension your lives as well.

That's all for tonight. Goodbye~~

BN(Blogger's Note): Not all domestic helpers are from indonesia/phillipines. And definitely not all indonesians/filipinos are domestic helpers.
