ON BEING BAD ABOUT GIFTS RECEIVED

Is it bad to sell a Christmas gift like this that I received from a generous friend?

Some of my friends freaked out soon as I told them I'm selling the Macbook 13 inches that I just got today. Would that make me a bad person?

I've put myself on my generous friend's shoes and pondered at the the thought "Once you give a gift, it's the receiver's option to do with it as they please." and that made me believe that I should do what would be best for the item. Either it rots in my house because I'm never a Mac-lover or I could sell it to friends who actually have a need for it.

If he is an ex-boyfriend and had given me a bracelet, would I sell it since we are no longer together and we're not in speaking terms? I still say yes. Sell it, or throw it away, or give it away. I know once of a girl who held onto a bracelet from a guy for 17 years. Hell, she might still have it. She was vainly hoping he would come back to her... what a waste of her life! How Delusional! I am not saying she is but I think it is best to just let go and move on, and not hang onto a fantasy.

So it's the same with me and this Macbook 13 inches.... I don't wish for it to be lonely. Such a beautiful item should be put in use but I'm never going to lay my precious fingers on it because Mac and I were not just friendly with each other. My life is already too complicated to handle another complicated gadget!

Selling it for P45,000 now and I'm not changing my mind!

For those who plan to be generous to me, please... no Mac, no iPhone, no expensive stuff! I am simple girl who makes a fun life out of simple things!
