los! Thank you for your response!

I did not bring 'morality' to this discourse but your first argument introduced that. Like you have rightly noted, it is a matter of perspective. Not everybody will see it as a bad thing and to look at it from the utilitarian angle, you will agree with me that if greater people benefit from such act, it is a good one.

The 'IV' is hypothetical and i do not really get the logic behind it but i think you are trying to draw the importance between spending money to make yourself or someone happy and making them happy by just being there and creating time for them.

Since your first sentence is an approval of my conclusion in a way, i think you answered me with a 'yes' (not totally affirmative though)!!!

You can throw more light on the 'IV'.

Thanks for your time once again.
