point in trying to criticize someone for just posting. Posting something online does not give you the consent to criticize. But, if you see something wrong, I think there is a better way and that's by educating the person. After reading your thread, your tone really (2/n)
reeks of a personal grudge. I don't think it's really fair to be condemning my friend for the things his parents gave him since they are products of their hardwork. They didn't step on anyone to get to where they are. Moreover, I think it's in their own discretion (3/n)
however they wish to spend their money. In this case, they decided to spend it on the needs and wants of their child. In terms of my friend 'flexing' his things, I've been seeing his stories and he never had the intention to brag or to seem elitist. Usually, he was thankful (4/n)
and was treating it as a motivation to work harder to reach his goals. I get your point, though, because he may seem detached with the realities of this pandemic. But if you really know him, you'll know how he helped and continues to help other people with the same (5/n)
'privilege' you've been attacking him of. He didn't need to post these because we help people out of good will and not for the recognition we may get. While I don't know if you were able to gauge what I'm trying to say, to keep it short, what I'm trying to say is that he didn't
have the intention to hurt anyone with his post. It may seem insensitive to you, but as his friend, it made me happy seeing him happy. Others may feel this way too. For his parents, they might feel happy because their son appreciates them. It's all about perspective. (7/n)
I hope if you wish to educate someone, do it in a way that addresses the problem. This is so future problems won't arise. I do acknowledge what you're trying to say, but it really feels like a reach because you had to put things out of context. (8/9)
I am not trying to bash you for your opinion, but rather, I'm giving you an alternate view to this issue. I just hope this thread is able to let you understand where my friend is coming from. :)
