So you bought another luxury car, congratulations! But may I ask why anyone should be obligated to give you kudos on your newly purchased toy as if you had anything to with the labor that went into making it. Many of my colleagues and neighbors drive around in these super flashy rides and expect the typical compliment of “Nice Car” when they drive up within shouting distance of someone. The worst thing about this is that they always respond with, “thanks”, as if they did anything beyond giving money to a car dealership and picking out a color. (Of course if you refurbished the car, that’s a different story)
I understand celebrating your first car on your 17th birthday or something, but we’re not kids anymore. We seem to have this false idea that tells us that if we pay currency for something, it somehow translates into meaning that we deserve admiration or respect for that action. Well to put it lightly, this is all a bunch of rubbish and silly ceremony. I admit that I’ve been guilty of humoring these hotshots, but I’m still confused as to what I’ve ever congratulated them for? Besides, I don’t remember the last time that I complimented my friends on their lawn mower or power drill. Why not take credit for these gadgets as well?
What I’m trying to say is that choosing a car is not as difficult as it may seem, so why do we make it appear as if it is such an amazing skill?
I feel that it is necessary to give compliments to those who deserve it in life. This would include the hard workers, innovators, and inventors that make things happen.
