I've never been good at sales. In my heart I'm thinking, "you don't need this - [ whether it's band candy, vacuum cleaners or coming to a revival service, or buying a painting]." Someone might say, "you can't radically determine the content of other people's desires like that." And I admire that method of thought, that confidence, that aggressiveness - and perhaps my lack of aggressiveness is part of my Bartleby affinity, a "rather not." How does the world function, after all, without people's minimal need to sell themselves and be sold on something? Of course, I've been read the riot act on this in my youth, but I am admittedly thick and, paradoxically, sensitive.
