I had never been one to judge people for their choices, but I had to admit, I thought people who took pictures with their Rolex watches were very shallow minded.
It was something that I noticed more and more on social media.
They can be taking photo of their breakfast but the main focus of the photo was always their Rolex watch.
It seemed like people were always trying to one-up each other by showing off their Rolex, as if it was some sort of status symbol.
I know that people like to show off their wealth, but it was something that I just couldn’t wrap my head around. Why would someone feel the need to prove their worth by flaunting their Rolex?
It was like having a Rolex meant that they had made it in their lives and that nothing else mattered.
It seemed like such a shallow way of thinking, and it made me feel uncomfortable.
I decided to voice my opinion on the matter in a post on a popular social media platform. I was immediately met with a barrage of comments from people who disagreed with me.
Some people said that I was being too judgmental, while others argued that people should be able to do whatever they want with their money.
I tried to explain my point of view, but no one seemed to understand. I was starting to get frustrated, as it seemed like no one was really hearing me.
I eventually gave up and decided to just ignore the comments.
Unfortunately, my post caught the attention of a few Rolex enthusiasts. They started to send me messages, telling me how dumb I was for making such an ignorant statement.
They also sent me photos of their Rolex watches on purpose and said that I could never afford it even if I wanted to.
I had never expected to be on the receiving end of such hatred and resentment. I had never intended to offend anyone, but it seemed like I had.
I felt awful, and I knew that I had made a mistake by speaking out against something which was honestly none of my business.
From that day on, I learned my lesson. I realized that people take pride in the things they own and that it wasn’t my place to judge them for it.
