No Commercial Obligation
I recalled yesterday at lunch, at the hawker centre, there's this old lady who goes around selling tissues. We rejected as we had ours. She went on and on saying how bad life was for her and her husband, and subsequently made this comment which deposits anger in me: "我这个老人买tissue 给人家看不起!" She even state that some would purchase but refuse to take her tissues, and why we can't even buy. I was really upset by what she had said. If she was selling tissues in that manner, she should be in an attitude of asking for favor, and not having the assumption that whoever who doesn't buy from her are against her. I felt like saying: "是你自己看不起自己好不好?" However, I held my words. She keep claiming that she can no longer work because of her age. And flaunt at us her used medicine wrappers, indicating that her husband and her need money for medical fees. She was really speaking all ill.
Do you know you become what you speak?
Goodness.. Firstly I do see people of her age working decent jobs, though the pay wouldn't be fantastic, at least they still have a job. It isn't true that she can no longer work at her age. Moreover, showing me your used medicine wrappers doesn't prove to me that you've been sick for a long period. Actually they look like the polyclinics wrappers for medicines than hospitals'. How would I know if you had purchased merely painkillers from the polyclinics? What's more important, how would I know they were yours?
Donation isn't a commercial obligation in the first place. There's no legal binding rule that demands donations from every commoner in the society. Next, was there consideration? Consideration would mean a benefit in exchange for a benefit, or otherwise. I see no clear consideration here. The next issue here would be that how could you use duress to ask for a donation? Totally absurb.
