I think her point might be that when you send kids around "trick or treating" on halloween, all they get are treats. I certainly don't remember being going to a house and being told "nya, nya, nya... trick!!!!" and leaving empty handed. I don't mind either way, but I can see how some might expect something each day. Unfortunately it's part of human nature.. the more you give away, the more people come to way. I appreciate all the freebies that I receive ... and the tricks along the way are kind of cute. The first one I ran across was the discount code that didn't work... it took me awhile to figure out that it wasn't supposed to, LOL

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
