leave a feedback
A miserable git on Yahoo! Bid used to pester me non-stop for a damn feedback--does he understand that some people do have a life outside of bidding Websites? (This does not apply to HY.) Too bad cos I relish playing mind games, and see whether the feedback-thirsty bloke or I give in first. Anyways, now I realise the joy of receiving/giving comments, and have been writing angel-like words to strangers on the Amazon marketplace, eBay and Yahoo! in the hope that I will get something nice in return. On a different note, I feel slightly bad for charging my buyer five quid for postage and packing, 'tis the pursuit of my greed defined vice. The incompatibility of commerce and virtue has always been an intriguing issue. It is also reflected in the Chinese mentality that merchants (士農工商) are regarded as the lowest class in society, because of their association with dishonest dealings, lack of reading and passion for wealth. Hum, but Mandeville has once justified that 'economic prosperity would not be possible without the indulgence of one's passions'. And Smith holds the opinion that trade didn't necessarily counter moral excellence. Hehe, in that case I'm not going to claim the moral high ground, and I'd like the money in my pocket.
