Truly The Season For Giving
Once again, Christmas is round the corner, and it's getting all these emotions in me all messed up. I absolutely LOVE giving some things, while I absolutely HATE giving others.For example, I love giving and offering my help to friends, I love giving Bagel food that my mum doesn't allow him to eat, I love giving people the benefit of the doubt (usually just makes them feel like I'm giving in to them even though I really think that I'm right and it makes them think twice about their own arguments), I love giving head, and I haven't done this before but I'd love giving rat poison to the socially inapt who challenge and inevitably molest me by opposing my outgoing mass when I get off the trains.
On the other end of the spectrum, I hate the giving that is required of me in Decembers, because somehow there're so many birthdays that fall in December, and there seem to be so many movies to catch since it's the holiday season, plus not to mention Christmas, although I've never really bought any Christmas gifts, so I can't really be complaining about that.
So it's oft-postulated that giving is a wonderful gesture, but December really confuses me. I really love giving, but now I peer conscientiously into my bank account, and I instantly detest giving up the money that I have. I detest that I have to make a decision as to whether I should give my 80 bucks to Kenneth Cole for his bloody sandals that are slimily discounted by 60%, I detest that I should give Singtel any money for last month's phone bill when I could be using that money to acquire the sandals from Kenneth Cole (or of course buy the gf a nice dinner of potato salad, mashed potatos, and rosti) because obviously Singtel have never given me anything concrete while continually sucking me into the deep dark web of sms-addiction, I detest that I have to give myself small inklings of the irrevocable temptation to want to just give up all my financial prowess in this world to designers who overcharge with absolute disregard to the poor of the world and at the same time try to justify to myself that it was money well-spent, and I guess I detest that I have to give myself the option of spending money that could be saved and better spent elsewhere. The long and short of it, most definitely.
However, I guess after all that's said and done, it can be quite nice and fulfilling to give willingly and receive a simple acknowledgment of your presence in this world, a nice little "Thank You, Mama", but of course undoubtedly I'd much rather prefer to give, and receive a huge wad of thousand USD bills in a thick enough money clip from Tiffany's. At least I'll be able to occupy myself with thoughts on how to strategically give away that stash once I go to the money changer.
