He Was Not Capable of Love

Competence & Authority

He was not capable of love.

They stole that from him.

Heck he could barely love himself. That too was stolen from him.

I get it now.

You are here to steal our jobs.

Then do the job with some passion so I know you do not want it taken.

How did I steal from you what you were never in the running for.

I never transfer the call when a customer yells "Pass me to someone in charge."

I am the someone in charge.

I trained them.

They resist but always end the call with "Thank you. You made that so easy."

Yeah, I know. I have been a customer too. It's very frustrating!

How dare I show up in these spaces with you?

Well, because I have to show you how it's done with grace, kindness and equality.

I am your answered prayers.
