‘Kindness’ Is The Name Of The Curse - 3. World Filled With Peasants
3. World Filled With Peasants
He firmly believed that the world was filled with peasants; they were totally useless and the world would better off without them. They were absolutely incompetent; just to clean dishes, they needed to be told how to do that. They needed to be told how to sweep the floor in order to do that; they didn’t even know how to do this simple task. Absolutely no desire to better themselves or others; they would just sit and do nothing if they could do that without starving themselves to death. Learning how to wait for tables, becoming a waiter or a waitress was some sort of miracle to them. How could the world have so many incompetent, incapable and useless peasants? Why should they exist at all? Whenever he read news like farmers’ being swept away in flood, he did not think much about it; sometimes, he felt that it was all good for reducing the expendable population, and other times, he wondered why more of the expendable weren’t being reduced. This was his persuasion and he believed that the world was full of the useless UNTIL today.

He spoke to his waiter, one of peasants supposedly, in order to seek help. If the waiter were a peasant, then who would he be? Less than a peasant? He could not find an answer to the question, but he knew that he needed to seek help from his new friend. As he ate dinner, sat and contemplated, he realized that he needed to borrow some money. Staying a night on the street was unwise; he had too many things with him. They could be packed in a suitcase and a backpack after all, but his possession was large enough so that it could catch unwanted attention. He also had to move around with the big suitcase and the heavy backpack for the next couple of days at least; it would be extremely difficult, if not, impossible. He also had to be in a place where he could be reached if anyone wanted to get in touch with him; in fact, he needed to get in touch with a few people. He was looking for a flat and he contacted several landlords; they needed to get in touch with him if they decided to rent a flat. He also needed to be in touch with his new employer; in fact, he was going to get a relocation fee from him. Now that he was out of cash, the relocation fee would be essential. Also he needed to seek financial help from his friends and family members later on because, even if, he managed to borrow money at this restaurant, it was unlikely that he could borrow enough to get by for the next couple of weeks; he could only borrow enough to get by for the next several days at best. They needed to get in touch with him in some way as well. Staying on the street would make things more difficult and complex than necessary. Besides, he had to realize that he was not one of those who could stay homeless for days comfortably; neither he grew up like that, nor did he ever let him face such a difficulty in his life before. He had to have a realistic expectation on what he could do and what he couldn’t do. Being tough, staying on the street for the next several days or a couple of weeks and then getting back to the normalcy was not something he could do; he was incapable of doing such thing. Borrowing money to get by for the next couple of days and figuring out how to get back to the normalcy, probably by borrowing some money from a couple of other people, was something he could handle.
