Making her feel unworthy
As Cora’s heart pounded, she glanced around the cabin, searching for any sign of sympathy or support from her fellow passengers. To her dismay, she was met with collective indifference. No one responded to the flight attendant’s curt and degrading tone. It was as if a thick silence enveloped the entire business class section, leaving her isolated in a bubble of humiliation and uncertainty.
Feeling increasingly unwelcome and doubting her place in the elegant cabin, Cora’s voice quivered as she said, “But I paid for this seat.” Her words, though hesitant, carried a note of protest and desperation, a plea for the fairness she believed she deserved. She had no idea that her journey, which had started with such excitement and anticipation, would take such an unexpected turn, testing her resolve and underscoring the importance of empathy and compassion.
