#20: Like a Free Christmas Present
While the holiday season often fosters a spirit of goodwill and generosity among people, it’s essential to draw a line between the genuine exchange of kindness and entitlement. Requesting a complete stranger to provide an Apple desktop, a valuable item, as a free gift on an online marketplace is undeniably an audacious and unreasonable proposition.
Such an expectation disregards the principles of fair trade and demonstrates a lack of respect for the efforts and value of the seller’s property. While the holiday spirit encourages acts of kindness and giving, it should not be used as a pretext for making absurd demands and exploiting the generosity of others.
