thought of the day: money cannot buy love

My friend, Lolly (name changed) said (with a great sense of satisfaction), " I am asking my boyfriend to buy me a S$1,970.00 LV bag."
I thought, "That's almost $2,000.00. What a luxury! That was my starting pay 6 years ago."

I did not envy her for having a rich boyfriend rather I felt... "Yes, it's nice to receive such an expensive gift from your boyfriend but is love valued like that? Would the gift be meaningless if he told that it’s a gift in exchange of the time he could not spend with you.
I may be damn stupid plus naïve woman however, I believe that love is beyond vanity.

Buying a gift off the shopping rack is so much easier than making a good communication with your partner or even have quality time with him. Put your shoe as a child, would you prefer your parents to work all day and only give you pocket $ and expensive gadgets instead of spending some weekends with you. For me, I perfer the latter, as its something money cannot buy.
