I'm not dating "money man."

I'm not dating "money man."

Because his money... is not my money.

I do not despise the poor.

Because he didn't ask me for money to live.

I don't praise authority.

Because of the ease with which he submitted...

It often comes with a "price to pay." 💢

Conclusion: I am dating at "heart," not at "position."

My dignity... does not sell to anyone with benefits.

... Read moreในชีวิตประจำวัน เรามักพบว่าความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างคนถูกวัดด้วยปัจจัยภายนอก เช่น เงินทอง สถานะ หรืออำนาจ แต่แท้จริงแล้ว การเชื่อมโยงที่ยั่งยืนและมีความหมายมาจากใจคน ไม่ใช่สิ่งที่จับต้องได้ หลายคนอาจจะตกอยู่ภายใต้แรงกดดันให้ต้องคบกับคนที่มีเงินเยอะ หรือมีอำนาจเพราะดูเหมือนว่าจะช่วยให้ชีวิตสะดวกสบายขึ้น แต่ความสะดวกสบายเหล่านั้นมักมีเงื่อนไขแฝงที่อาจทำให้เราต้องสูญเสียความเป็นตัวเอง หรือแม้แต่ศักดิ์ศรีของเรา ในทางกลับกัน การเลือกคบคนที่มีความจริงใจ ความเอาใจใส่ และไม่ตัดสินจากฐานะ จะช่วยทำให้เราได้เพื่อนและคนรู้ใจที่แท้จริง ซึ่งจะสนับสนุนและเติบโตไปพร้อมกับเราโดยไม่หวังผลตอบแทนในรูปแบบของเงินหรืออำนาจ ยิ่งไปกว่านั้น ไม่ควรมองคนยากจนเป็นภาระหรือดูแคลน เพราะพวกเขาไม่ได้ขอใช้เงินของเราในการดำรงชีวิต และการมีความเห็นใจและเข้าใจในความแตกต่างของความเป็นอยู่สร้างความสัมพันธ์ที่ลึกซึ้งมากกว่า ดังนั้น การตั้งหลักคบคนที่ใจ ไม่ใช่ที่ฐานะ จึงเป็นการรักษาศักดิ์ศรีของตัวเองและส่งเสริมให้โลกนี้มีความสัมพันธ์ที่แท้จริงและมีคุณค่ามากขึ้น

Are you dating a boy or a man?
Girls girls girls. We know the difference between men and boys. Just make sure you put your foot down before you fall in love with a boy. That’s how you usually get attached, form a toxic relationship and can’t leave. Men just know what to do and when to do it. Boys don’t have a clue. #lemon8p
