Tonight at the parade, I bought and brought my own candy to throw to the children. Honestly, I didn't think that we would even be allowed to throw candy, but I was wrong. However, as I did clarify that the candy was mine and was free for the taking for anyone who asked, many people partook in the sweets. I noticed that people who otherwise would never approach me were now asking for candy. Kind of odd how having material goods that others can use makes someone popular. Not that I'm not guilty of this. If someone brings an open pan of cupcakes to lunch, you'll bet I'll ask for one. When someone brings cookies, I'll politely beg for one.
Nevertheless, this is a pointed observation on the shallowness of some people, and how they use you for what they want, and so on and so forth. What say you about this?
