I was talking to a friend of mine at dinner last night and we were discussing whether buying for somebody (and reciprocating) was in the same league as just turning up and paying for ourselves and enjoying each others company. My friend’s premise was that the simple act of turning up to the event is good enough and is the same as buying for somebody.
This post is not focusing about the above discussion and the merits of it, but after our dinner appointment, it got me thinking why we have differently. Some of you may fire back to me and say it is glaringly obvious, but I believe that why we think differently is largely because we have different values. The Meriam Webster online dictionary defines values as “something (as a principle or quality) intrinsically valuable or desirable <sought material values instead of human values — W. H. Jones>”
It is of what we experience in our lives and what has been past down to us from our parents and those that are very close to us that distinctly defines what we consider with certain values in our lives. Do remember that there is the odd exception. . .I mean a person in a derelict family may see a different outlook to that of people around them.
