Since you can't change it, you might as well enjoy it well.

A while back, I went on a group tour and got ripped off by the tour guide during the trip—the classic hard-sell scam where if you don't buy a ticket to see the show, you can't get off the bus, that kind of thing.

It was a farmhouse bonfire gathering.

One older woman paid the money but complained the whole time about how this wasn't good and that wasn't good, dragging others into the discussion, with a stern face the entire time.

One older man just had the attitude: "I'm here anyway, the money's already paid, might as well eat meat and drink wine to my heart's content." He probably got pretty drunk—later he even jumped around dancing with everyone.

After it ended and we got back to the hotel, the guide came to ask the older man if he had a great time. Guess what happened... The older man got right in the guide's face and let loose. Absolutely demolished him.

"Whether I'm having fun has nothing to do with your pathetic hard-selling tactics."

Someone asked: what's the older man's mentality here?

Even if I'm a fish on the cutting board, I'm gonna be the most lively fish 🐟

Who cares about bull and bear cycles, AI anxiety, world wars, or asteroids hitting Earth—let me eat this bowl of meat first.
