i mean i got this idea because i thought it was kinda cool and beautiful.
thats the thing, we see it as charghing someone as something maybe not appropriate.
But i sincerely believe its just an exchange, and its the opposite of not making trust. its actually building trust in a way, by trading with another human being and actually valuing it.
i mean even if its your friend alright, yeah he or she doesnt charge you through, but what if she or he would be appreciated for what they do by recieving something which has material value cuz at the end of the day material gets us through our lives. anyway, charging may not be so bad as it may seem to be, an exchange of values... just my 2c
A true friend would not ask for any material thing; I'm pretty sure a simple thank you and a warm hug would suffice and would be very much appreciated by those who listens.
Having a "fee" for such a simple act would only give someone a notion that you are only doing it for the money and that you're not really there to listen to their problems wholeheartedly.
well okay fair enough, as of now i accept hugs too
and by the way this is listening services not true friend services but still you could consider me a friend:p
i still believe its totally possible to take money from someone and still listen wholeheartedly to them.
If I have someone to listen to my misery it would be my best friend whom I can trust to keep my secret and not charge me for listening to my misery, I don't entrust my feeling to someone who is not genuine in understanding what I feel, I will just fooling myself.
i found the listening to my misery line funny. well, youre right in a sense.
ahah i see, people have different approaches to things. its just a matter of opinion.
listening in my world is an act. is listening an undervalued act amongst humans?
we all do things for waht we want. isnt that right?
for one person it could be money, for another something else like care maybe.
but the thing is when you focus and listen, youre actually making effort. and i think its just you who has the right to set the value of the effort they make on their part.
What is inappropriate about truly enjoying listening to other people and earning from it? I mean if its what you love to do and it doesnt hurt anyone...
lol. who would want to tell about problems to a complete stranger?
who would?
