Win & Win trade and still a bad feeling…
Mi family is gone. They took a cap this morning at 9 am and are right now in Miami or alredy above the atlantic. We had a great time and I hope they want to taste more of the world after this trip.
Refering to the title/headline of this post. The last stop with my family was in Brasilito on the pacific coast. Down there I met, on the last day, an american family. The dad told me that they are searching a guitare since a while and can t find any. After a few minutes I cam e to the idea that I could sell them mine and buy a new one since I m just living two blocks away from the guitare fabric and I m on the way back there anyway. Thats what I offered them. I asked them to pay me 150 US $ (I payed 72 000 Colones ~ 146 US $) so they could have a guitare and I m collecting some karma points. With this extra money my mum bought some souvenirs so she was happy and they guy who is selling souvenirs is happy as well. I ve made 2,3 US $ and I got a new guitare again, the guiitare dealer here in San Pedro sells one guitare more and the american family has a guitare to play. So basicly everyone should be happy but I haven t.
Somehow I felt a kind of distrust from the family. Noone offended me actively - I just had the feeling that they couldn t believe that I just wanted to do them a favour. Okay - I earned one week playing a guitare and 3,5 US $ but that was not the motivation of selling my guitare. It was just the favour… it s a pitty that distrust is rooted so deep in our souls…
