In the story, when she received her recycled gift, she smashed it up! What wastage of an innocent gift that can be re-gifted! :oo: She lost her temper because her pride was hurt. But that's unnecessary cos it was a result of clinging. :sad: Great points! In the story, when she received her recycled gift, she smashed it up!

:oo:

She lost her temper because her pride was hurt. But that’s unnecessary cos it was a result of clinging.

:sad:

She actually has gained in this process: 1. Gained some knowlege of the people around her; 2. Gained back a gift, which she can re-gift yet again; I don't think her pride is lost or diminished significantly- sounds like she lost her temper more than her pride. Giving a gift is a momentary connection between two people. That connection still happened at that moment, regardless of what happens to the physical gift at some point in the future, or from whence the gift came from in the past. Regifting is a great way to recycle, and save the Earth! (She should be happy that her crush was so Earth-concious) What an amusing story!
