They met Saturday. The man complimented her beautiful face telling her her features were those of classic greek or italian women. She thanked each
time he found a different way to say that and did everything within her
power to create the most positive first impression by speaking perfectly and looking at him lovingly, which he also complimented her on. When by coincidence her mother,
father, and
brother entered the supermarket, they saw her talking with the man at a
table in the eating area and
said hello to the girl but did not approach them. Seeing how unattractive the members of her family initially looked to him turned him off, but over the weekend he fell in love with her, and
Monday he realized that he considered external appearances unimportant, and that—thinking twice—the members of the girls family were also unpretentious. So, in
time he got to know them and like them. Seeing they were poor, a few weeks later, he invited them to be partners in a new childcare business.
Though most people generally agree on what is positive and what is negative, one individual
may interpret a thing to be positive, and a different individual may interpret it to be negative. Do you consider that chain of events to be positive or negative?
