People have different income levels; some are poor, some may be very poor. Some people may be of middle-income level, and some may be of higher-income levels. It is obvious that our income decides our purchasing power. But what if you are poor, and you are purchasing costlier things and what if you are rich and you are purchasing cheaper things?
As the income level increases the purchasing power also increases. But there is one more thing and that is our tastes and preferences. When our income choices widen. Our tastes and preferences change. We become able to purchase some costlier things. We become able to purchase a higher quantity of anything than at its previous level.
What the people watch, they observe you in the same way. If you are purchasing a small amount of something like “Give me PETHA of Rupees 10”. The shop owner may think, “The person is somehow poor.” The shop owner or someone else may comment on you like, “Give him One Kg PETHA” 😊😊😊At that time, you may comment back, you may quarrel, and if you think the people are NADAN, you may leave silently.
It is not a big issue what people think about your purchasing. It is our own requirement to determine at what time and how much we need to purchase, but the problem arises when people comment on us badly, and we too react in a bitter way, which starts an unnecessary quarrel.
In Psychology, it is called the Fundamental Attribution Error, under which people ignore situational factors and prefer their personal traits. People form an idea about you based on your clothing, trying to guess whether you are rich or poor.
What should we do?
If you are a shopkeeper, you should dont judge the people, but it is our MAN OR MIND that automatically judges someone. Ok, fine if it happens with you usually, then atleast dont beahve based on your judgment.
