Is it Wise to Give Presents?
Nowadays, the behavior of giving and receiving presents has become worldwide popular. Classmates exchange small gifts to show close relationship. Friends exchange presents to strengthen their friendship. Lovers exchanged carefully selected gifts to express the deepest love between them.
However, is it always wise to give and receive presents? From my prospective, it depends. Above all, it depends on the purpose of present giver. If he or she simply wants to make the receiver happy and improve their relationship, it’s just OK. On the contrary, if he or she owns a secret object in the bottom of his or her heart, his or her behavior is wrong and must be forbidden.
Yet, many students set too much emphasis on the price of gifts. Maybe they fear that others may laugh at them if their present is too cheap. But who cares? If someone judges you simply by the price, you can just break up with him or her. This kind of people are not worth your friendship.
