Writer/Director Kurt Kuenne’s fable about a parking attendant who gives his customers the validation they truly need -- dispensing both free parking and free compliments.
Here is where I stand on this whole validation thing. Most of you folks out there have been telling me that true validation comes from the satisfaction you get from the action itself and not the acknowledgment you get for achieving it. You know what I say… BS! I want to be praised, appreciated for whatever I've done or just simply for existing. And lets not kid ourselves and say a random compliment from a stranger isn’t all it takes to brighten up our day. I for one would be standing right there in line waiting to be validated.
So to whomever is reading this, I am waiting for any "reciprocated communication of respect which communicates that the other's opinions are acknowledged, respected, heard, and (regardless whether or not the listener actually agrees with the content), they are being treated with genuine respect as a legitimate expression of their feelings, rather than marginalized or dismissed." - Wikipedia.
Go on, don't be shy.
I'll scratch your back if scratch mine.
