- That it is possible to be more and more enlightened is more important than whether enlightenment is possible or not [though it is]. 2010/03/12

Hairdresser Discrimination
By shian on 7 Dec 2009 under Odds & Ends |
2 Comments | Tags: discrimination
A Tit for a Tat (67)
Tit: A kiddy-looking hairdresser! Next salon please!
Tat: Why? Are young hairdressers not good?
Tit: It’s not that they are not good, but that I don’t know if they are any good – due to lack of experience.
Tat: You make it seem as if all older hairdressers are good! Reverse ageism is still ageism!
Q: Why should you get the hairdresser in a salon with the worst haircut to cut your hair?
A: Because the hairdressers in the salon usually cut one another’s hair!

This is usually what happens when one judges another based on external experiences. While older hairdressers may possess the experience to give one a better haircut, younger hairdressers are usually the ones who keep up with fashion trends.
So, who’s the better hairdresser?
Indeed! Also, age sometimes has nothing to do with skill because some have great karmic aptitude despite little experience, while some can have much experience (e.g. training) but little genuine talent due having less aptitude or even interest. Amituofo
