Living Kindfully

Sometimes You Have to Buy Things that You Don't Like

When I was traveling in China, wife wanted a couple of things that are only available in China. Personally, I do not like these things, it has no practical function. Nevertheless, I got the full set that she wanted. She was very happy to receive it.

This is a profound experience. Sometimes, we have to buy things that we don't like. I enjoy eating strawberries, but I will not use strawberries as bait for fishing. My wife wanted something that I do not like. I would still buy it because it makes her happy.

Sometimes we may have to do something that we dislike to keep the people around us happy. There is a line that we cannot cross. We cannot sacrifice all of ourselves for those who are not grateful. My relationship with my wife is amazing, so I do not mind.
