![[image loading]](http://eat2love.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/money-use.jpg) I just came back from the bank, after depositing the monetary gifts that I got from my graduation party. It just feels unreal that people are so generous. $50.00 is very generous in my opinion, and some people matched that or gave more. I saved the card from my well-off summer neighbors for last because they are like family to me, but it was still a jaw-dropping shock to find a $500.00(!!!) check in their card. It's all just incredible to me.   | ||

I also got nothing for graduation but i definitely didn't deserve anything either LOL Yes. Your perception skews their generosity haha. Not to rain on the parade at all because I love where your head is at. But I think generosity is more like giving you my last loaf of bread when we are both hungry. Not as much giving you a loaf of bread when I have 100 in reserve. Though there is a lot to be said for people helping out when you need help, and not just when it is convenient. | ||

I wasn't aware people did that. On July 20 2010 04:56 michiko wrote: One time someone at a Tim Horton's drive through - in front of me in line - paid for his breakfast, and mine. I got to the window and the employee said; "They guy ahead of you paid for your meal, along with his" I've heard people try to do that seeing if it'll cause a chain reaction. A lot of the time then the next person (you in this case) would pay for the meal of the person behind you, and so forth. Then it'll inevitably end with someone who's like "sweet, free meal," when the person says "the last 25 drivers have paid for the person before them, would you like to as well?" | ||

I don't understand this, how do they know how much to pay? Do they just overpay and the cashier keeps the change? | ||

So what, if I have 100 loaves of bread that I worked for, you're expected to get one? It's generousity whether I have a million extra or none. Your ass could starve. | ||

I'll get my own bread if you're so stingy you expect someone to kiss your ass for one of a million loaves of bread. They're gonna go bad before you can eat them all anyway! When I have plenty, and I have guests, I consider it standard and expected to let them enjoy what I have. When I have only a little, I share it with just people I like. So yeah, there are a lot of level's of generosity, and giving a little when you have a lot is almost an insult on that scale. It IS an insult if you pat yourself on the back for doing it. | ||

"fuck you, bill gates! i don't want your fifty thousand dollars, you've got billions! give me more!" | ||
