As I prepared the vitriol I intended to send/email to lovefilm
after the indignation of being denied Homeland Series 1 Disc 2 after watching
Disc 1 weeks ago and was subsequently palmed off with Pitch Perfect and now
Parade’s End. Not that I mind watching the latter; it’s just that if you send
someone Disc 1 in a series then you should at least follow up with Disc 2.
As I patted myself for writing my letter/email, a thought occurred
to me, you don’t have problems if the
main thing that upsets you right now is lovefilm sending the wrong film. I
began to think about people in much dire situations e.g. people starving.
I still sent my letter, all that pent up indignation had to
be put to good use. However, I was left with an overwhelming desire to do
something about people in dire situations. Whether it’s suspending my lovefilm
membership and giving that money to charity or making some other form charitable
contribution.
I guess the moral of the story is:
- Do we have a right to complain when not given the service we paid for? Yes indeedy!
- More importantly, when you think you have problems there is someone else having it worse than you. Let’s spare a thought for those less privileged than us and help anyway we can (even prayer counts – I don’t care what Ricky Gervais says; sometimes all you can offer is to put a petition before the Lord God almighty to bring forth change)
