MarvinMouse's Journal: misunderstandings of some people

There are times I am surprised by the sheer misunderstandings of people. When someone attempts to note a fact of their life that they don't agree with, they immediately become defensive, and in the process offensive as well.

It's quite humorous actually.

For example, if you review my posted msgs close to the date of this entry you will notice that I make a comment that my time is worth more then nothing. Yet, immediately afterwards people begin to take shots because now they feel that their time isn't worth anything because they are volunteering.

You can volunteer and still have your time worth something, you are just, in a way, donating that time to project, organization, etc that you are volunteering to. Therefore, your time is still worth something.

I have programmed software for free, and I understand why other people do so as well. But I will still acknowledge that the time I spent programming the software is not equal to nothing, but equal to the amount that I feel I put into it. Nothing short of immortality can change that.

As long as I have a short time on this planet to live, my time is worth something to me. Whether I donate it to other things or not is my own choice, but when I donate my time it is still worth something, not nothing.

The point being that everything, absolutely everything in life has a cost. Whether we admit it or not.
