Memory refresh

Some things need to be tried more than once. Usually you don't do a certain thing cause you've experimented once and you decided not to try any more. Therefore you systematically stay away from experiences until you forget the meaning of your rejection. To me, one of those experiences is going to shopping centers on festival days (and near Christmas) . Sunday morning I had to go to a shopping center for familiar reasons (not to buy anything), actually I didn't remember any more the meaning of shopping delirium....
A crawling crowd of men, women, shopping carts, children, old men and a really stressful background noise. Your just woke up body ran over by the shopping torrent forcing you to walk at the same speed of the flow while you try not to hurt too much people and you glance 1000 other eyes that you probably will not see any more. Some old men sat on a bench seem to be absolutely comfortable... they speak loud and are ignored by the noisy river flowing beside transporting TV screens, milled meat, routers, apples, flowers, chickens, dog food, jackets
corkscrews, bread... You feel forced to buy something, so you buy some random things like 2 wine corks; but after that you don't feel happier....
