Self service and life

This is a story about the first meeting of "Emmett Fox", a contemporary writer and philosopher, from America, when he went to a self-service restaurant for the first time.

 He, who had never been to such a restaurant before, sat waiting in a corner, with the intention of being welcomed.

 But as more moments passed, his impatience intensified as he saw that the waiters did not pay the slightest attention to him.

 Worst of all, he saw that those who entered after him were sitting in front of plates full of food and eating.

 He sadly approached the man who was sitting on the adjacent table and said: I have been sitting here for about twenty minutes without anyone paying the slightest attention to me.  Now I see you, who entered five minutes ago, sitting here with a plate full of food in front of me!  What is the subject?  How are the people of this country accepted?

 The man said in surprise: "This is self-service, then he pointed to the end of the restaurant, where the food was laid out in abundance, and continued to go there, take a tray, choose whatever you want, pay for it, then here."  Sit down and enjoy it!

 Emmett Fox, feeling a bit stupid, followed the man's instructions, but when he put the food on the table, it suddenly occurred to him that life is also about self-service.  All kinds of events, opportunities, situations, joys, servers and sorrows are in front of us, while most of us are glued to our seats and are so oblivious to what others have on their plates and are surprised that  Why does he have a greater contribution that we never think of? We should simply get up and see what is available, then choose what we want.
