Re: Different kinds of etiquette |
Sounds to me as if someone had an attachment to how his "sharing" should be heard and appreciated.
A gift isn't a gift unless it is offered with no expectation of any kind of return for the giver or of how the person one is giving to is going to react or "should" react. If there is such an expectation, it's a transaction, not an act of giving.
The only thing that can be disappointed in the reaction to a gift is the self. Take that self out of the equation and what one has left is...uh...selfless giving. The latter act allows no possibility of being disappointed by the reactions to the gift, because there is no one home to be disappointed.
