well earlier today i found a $5 dollar note on the ground and i was extremely annoyed about it.
i was incensed in fact.
i had absolutely no euphoric reaction at all to the realization that i had just found $5 on the ground, and i was puzzled as to why, and i felt cheated.
if i was poor, i would have considered it a godsend, and it would have made my day.
i feel rather ripped off that i am not in a position to view the find as important.
that is one of the drawbacks of having as much as you want.
but the thing that made me happy was that i did not fly off the rails and go beserk about it. well done i say.
it was worth more than $5 to establish my belief in my restraint in exceptionally trying circumstances so i came out on top.
i will sleep well.
Does that mean that you picked it up or not...?
I found a 20 the other day...I was going to leave it there...but then I decided not to.
I spent it on food, books, candy, and a pair of sunglasses.
