Overheard in a department store: "Actions speak louder than words." "You wouldn't do that if you loved me." " You say you love me, but then you go and do that." "What am I supposed to think...feel?" "You say that, but I don't trust you anymore."
Brilliant capturing of a moment Mark. I esp. like the Mm-hmms and the flat tone. Disconnection from ourselves and others, and yet more connected in a technological sense. Weird creatures we are.
It is interesting the things one overhears in stores. I particularly notice parents interactions with their children. Although I have no children I think this actually makes me more observant of these interactions. It brings to mind the proverb, "A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger." In my observations of parental interactions with children (both with people I know and strangers) I find this to be very true.
About the people you overheard in the store, where they perhaps at a jewelry counter? ;)
