Spending Time, Spending Money

I always feel guilty for being mad at someone or thinking bad things about someone if they spend money on me.  I think a bad thought and then feel bad when I remember that they just took me out to dinner or they just bought me a present.  This is an unhealthy way to value a person.  No amount of money or presents can make up for being a jerk.  I would rather someone be nice to me and spend time with me than be mean and spend money on me.  Generosity is a good thing but it only means something when coupled with genuine kindness.  In short, I should stop feeling bad about disliking a person even if they do nice things for me.  Money truly can't buy happiness and it doesn't make up for rudeness or coldness by itself.
