Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Okay, this has been bugging me for the past few days or so. Corrina and I were talking once, and she said that a guy paid her with a guitar of angelus, angelic camisole, and a whole bunch of other crap that I was jealous of. So I said "Donate! crying "
Now, I realize the childishness of my actions. But it's what she said after that that really has me thinking. She said "Well I used to have all these things on my first account and then I got hacked. Don't you think I deserve to have them again?"

Okay, just because something bad happened to you, does not mean you are automatically entitled to the world paying you back for it. That's not how karma works. Yes, it's sad that you fell for a hack. Yes, I wish it hadn't. Yes, I want you to have nice things. But I don't think you should feel like you're entitled to them because someone took them from you in the first place. You're not mighter-than-thou. You're not greater or more powerful, or more precious. You're just like every other human being on this earth. Every other Gaian on the internet. So yes, you should get nice things, yes you should earn them, but no, the world should not bow down and throw their hard-earned items at you just because you're sad that you don't have a kiki anymore.

And I know you're going to read all this, Corrina, and get very indignant and say that I'm being mean. You're going to comment and say 'Hey, I never said any of those things. Yeah I want them back but I didn't tell all of gaia to give me their stuff :/ ' but that's not what I'm saying at all. I know you're pissed off reading this. But these are my thoughts. This is how I feel when I think about what you said that day. NO, I am not telling Gaia that you're a charity begging n00bzor. No, I am not saying that you're high-and-mighty. I'm simply analyzing the statement in a manner rather comfortable for me. So don't freak out, alright? I write about what I think about everyone. This isn't a personal attack. It's simply my brain.
Go ahead and hate me or cry about me to Della, Dayshan (sp?), and Charles. Have a little hallelujah kumbaya, if you feel like it. But honestly, if you do, then I can rightly say that you overreacted neutral
