A MOMENTARY GRATIFICATION

          Does it happen to you when you see something attractive to you and you want it immediately regardless of any consequences? This happens to me alot, as I am very easily tempted by something that attract me. Have any of these decision that you made, make you regret?
          One occasion, when I was shopping,  a pair of Prada, limited edition shoe caught my attention. I stopped immediately and I knew I have to try it on, hence I asked for a size 43, but it turned out that there are only size 42 left. Not only did it hurts my feet as it was too small for me, it is very expensive as well. I considered for a long time and finally decide to purchase this pair of nice shoes, thinking that I will eventually get used to it when I wear it more often.
          First week of wearing the shoe, I loved it, especially when friends around me complimented on my shoes, but it hurts my feet very badly and blisters even appeared on my feet. Second week of wearing this pair of shoes, I occasionally start to complaint that the shoes made me felt more tired from walking, therefore the times I wore the shoes became less frequent than I used to.
          Finally, after one month of wearing the pair,it  is not painful anymore, as the blisters have already formed into dead skin around my feet. One day, when I was about to wear them out, I was startled to find that my once beloved pair of shoes have crack lines, and many signs of wear and tear. I was disappointed as, this shoe is not as appealing as it used to be. Only then did I regretted from buying this pair of shoes, and I have regretted having to gone through one month of pain.
         What you like and what is suitable for you, is two separate issues,  I used to like and want many things, but  have overlooked the many consequences. Many of times in life, we are too hasty in making decisions, such experience have made me learnt to be more careful in making decisions in life, take my time and slowly consider the consequences, and not be affected by the momentary gratification.
