I have been thinking a lot of about people and the values that we were taught as children. Isn't it funny that people nowadays have so much yet are so empty inside? Well I think I have told you all repeatedly that we are now renovating our flat and we are getting rid of all the old stuff. Last weekend, Rudi told me he was giving away his old sound system to his colleague who has recently moved and doesn't have a system at his new place.

He came to pick it up and after that we went for coffee. When we sat down I was a bit surprised, Rudi had to ask me what I wanted to drink. The thing is we just gave this little fucker a sound system, don't you think that taking into consideration the basic laws of being a human ( or perhaps a socially functional being) he would at least have the courtesy to ask a lady what she wanted to drink? The deal is not the coffee, a 30 dollar coffee will not make me richer or poorer, I care about the display of gratitude. I care about appreciation.

I wonder why these people exist, you know what I mean. Did their parents teach them to take take take and not give? My grandfather always tell me, you can be stingy to yourself but you should never stinged on people around you. My grandfather has long expired but I bring his values to the way I choose to live my life now. And I am thankful for his wise words because I can never to bring myself to live myself under such state of oblivion. I wonder what kind of friends these people make and can anyone be friends with people like that? Sick...

And you know what.. Rudi just told me that he is coming back again this week for our keyboard. Baby, no! I am NOT giving it to him. I'd rather donate it to a beggar at least, I'd get a thank you..
