Please sir, I want some more

I am not a charitable man. I do not have a heart of gold.
I think that helping others is an absolute waste of time. We have so many wants and needs that we cannot satisfy, why the hell bother with the plight of others.

Quite frankly if ten million dollars fell on my lap, I would spend a spanking new car, but a new apartment and get a steady stream of income and live on the beach for the rest of my life. In this way, I would never need to work for the rest of my life and yet get a comfortable lifestyle without really needing to think about running our of money.

Why the hell, do we need to have consideration for other's in the first place. Ten million dollars can go a long way in doing many things, and of course, I have to give to people whom have helped me along the way as well. This people would help me more since I have I have repaid their gratitude right. It is really just a virtous cycle of generosity right- I help those that helped me and in turn they will helped me.

Of what use, do I helped someone whom have no way of even helping themselves- there is no payback or reciprocity- really there is no benefit in stretching out my hand. I give because I have to, because if I don't I would be viewed as a heartless miser in front of everyone else, so perhaps I would flicked a coin or two. well, it's nothing to me but it means alot to this person right. Well, I get away scot-free and this person walk away happy, isn't that such a nice little arrangement.

I never give to charity unless someone is looking unless it is mandated. Charity is well charity, it should come from the heart right, it is not that I don't have the heart, it is just that I want so many things, but well, I think this people- plight as pathetic as it can be- just had to wait.

I want to eat at the nice little restautant and I need to save up my kid's education- what is more important than their educatoion- even when education is heavily subsidized and I earned about $10,000 a month. And of course, I need to buy dinner and tonics for my parents, yes they are very important right, even when they have golf membership and stayed in that bungalow, and jets around the world as and when they like.

Oh yeah, don't forget my friends. Well, they are buying the new home theatre system or that nice diamond ring for their wife- well, wives are important right, pampering them. And I am so noble and selfless that I keep on buying things for others and I forgot about myself. Oh well, I should do that and pamper myself too- I was eyeing their diving watch- even though, I have never dived before[ well thats a small detail, we will get to that later]

Oh at the end of the day, I am just a man working hard for my family, kids and friends and some little luxuries for myself.

I am sorry I am really don't have time for people who is trying to make ends meet. I am really really sorry, I liked to help but....
