If someone with more money than you insisted on paying you money for something you wanted to give to them, how would that make you feel?

I'm not going to lie, I'd feel uncomfortable at first. It's only natural; if you're doing something for free, as a favor, and the recipient offers to pay you for it -- especially when there's already a difference in money as it is -- you're probably going to feel a bit awkward, or feel like rejecting it. But I know from experience that there's absolutely nothing you can say to change this person's mind if he or she is set on giving you money.So I'd just accept it and say thank you.

Think of it as a gift in return.

I would feel a little embarrassed at first but then I would realize that they were just trying to be nice and help. Bklynj actually had a good idea minus the making the child sick part. I would buy them a thank you card with a gift.

I would have taken the money and thanked them and went out and bought a box of candy and delivered it to their house as a personal thank you to throw it back at them. Maybe give it to their kid who can't eat chocolate.

It's called courtesy. I mean they weren't pitying you or making you feel bad because you don't have money... I don't have money, but I like feel like I am giving them something in return for all their kindness. Of course they decline because it makes them happy giving it to me as a gift.

But someone has to give in a make someone happy. So I take the money. BUT I go out and buy them something nice to say thanks for the money but I used to buy you something in return to return it back, but again as a gift to you.

I mean my question for YOU is... If it was a middle class person inside of rich person, and they offered you money for the plants would you think of it as courtesy or pity? Same if they were poor and said they would be happy to pay for it, would you think they are pitying you? Or is it because they are rich you think that it has to be pity that they are offering you money for something you are giving them for free.

Don't think the worst out of people. I think because you think low of yourself that others do too, and you are definately mistaken.

Sometimes people who know they have money and are dealing with people who may not be as well of as they are feel the need to pay for things. I do believe it is pity money. They felt sorry for you so they gave you money.

I like the idea of giving their kid who can't eat chocolate, chocolate. Serves them right. :-).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
