Kids nowadays are really spoiled…or not just kids?

baby born with silver spoon is nothing special…you will always have people ahead of you…gold…platinum or even diamond spoon..name it

When parents have better income they tend to spend more on their children, buy them luxury electronic (HP. Laptop, PSP) product or branded cloths and when more people are doing that… it become a social trend. Parents indulge their kids with whatsoever is in trend so children in this day and age become more demanding, never satisfied and take things for granted. Who to blame? I really dunno…

I just have a little story to share here, which I bring up to my mind…
I am truly blessed more than enough.

I was buying breakfast in breadtalk
A mother and her boy were there before I walk in…
I overheard their conversation

Mum: 快点你要哪一个面包？
Boy：我要香肠的
Mum: 不要吃香肠啦。。。$1.40可以买比较大一点的
Boy：哦
*** mum looking at loft bread and ask the cashier how much. Cashier replied: $4.8
*** she decided to buy and take it with her son bread proceed to payment, she gave her son $4 to make the payment

Cashier : 谢谢 $ 5.8
Mum: 为什么那么贵？$1.8+ $1 那里是5.8
Cashier: 是4.8+1.
Mum：你刚才讲1.8 的
Cashier：我说4.8
Mum：我以为是1.8 。那我现在不要了可以吗?
Cashier: 不可以，你把面包夹扁了
Mum: 那里有，我不要了。我买一个就好了

*** She pay and left the shop and I heard she says 吓死人这样贵

This episode keeps on repeating in my mind until today.
How fortunes are we? How can i ask for more when i leading such a good life.
I might not get everything i want...but i really cant ask for more at this stage...
I feel like paying for her at that moment but in other way I felt she might felt more embarrass to accept my kindness.
We have a tendency to mix up the needs and wants in our life when the standard of living are getting higher each day.

maybe i should start think how can i avoid to falling in this dilemma...

the greatest gift is to GIVE
