I've been trying to get a bill paid for a while. I was not successful at it so I decided to hire a Collection Company. Yesterday I heard from them that they managed to get the money. Yay!!!
Although I was happy, I wasn't as excited as two friends of mine who supported me through the process. I started a self-examination, I learned in meditation: 'Why wasn't I so excited about this?' I noticed that besides happy, I was also angry and sad about this whole event.
I felt betrayed by the company I worked for, because they let me do the work and after delivering the work they decided they wouldn't pay it anymore. Simple, because they had an internal power shift and my contact didn't give me the correct signatures on the business contract. And just because I'm an introvert, who doesn't scream for her rights, they thought they could intimidate me by intimidating me.
Because this happens a lot in our society. If I am not the one with the quick-talk and screaming about my rights, I won't be heard, and my limits will be tested all the time. I can give many examples in my life or that of other introverts, but I won't bore with it.
But now I know I can hire people to scream for me and they'll do a damn good job! But still, I don't think this is the way the world should work...
