Stick your business elsewhere :(

I thought sticking post it notes with messages as this is easy but it's not.

Yesterday, while I was posting notes on a wall, a security guard from a bank across the street approached me and asked me what I'm doing.

I explained my purpose and he laughed. I was hurt that he didn't appreciate it but I was shocked when he scolded me and said that I was only littering the place.

I looked at the wall and pointed out all the graffiti. He said that I'm no different from them and told me to stop. I apologized and went on my way as there is no point to argue my purpose.

I'd still be posting notes but I'll be avoiding to post them on walls on the street from now on. I know that there will be someone who will need to feel loved. I'd stick them in bathrooms and books instead.

Lesson: I know now that we can never please everybody and not everyone understands us. But we have to be firm on our beliefs. And, we have to be careful where we post our notes to avoid hitting a nerve.
