Look at it from your grandpa's point of view. He is old and lonely (probably because he is grumpy a jerk whatever) but he sure is in his last innings. If you give him a gift even though your heart is not in it .. it is the gesture that matters to him. At his age he doesn't care about weather you really mean it or not ... when you are as old as him you will care a **** about all the "rights" and "wrongs" and the "principles" .... in this vast universe how much do you really think you are worth and what you really do .. do you think facebook even matters or even what you think ...haha Just give it up a little.. give the old guy a little token .. and believe me when you are older you will feel good about it ;) Thats the greatness of Asian philosophy While what you say is absolutely true and right .. there is another angle to look at (just like every coin has two sides).
