a harsh materialism

i understand most people do not have a lot of money...christ i don't have any myself...but for some reason cheap people bother me...i know i rant about most everything under the sun, but to be honest, i let most people roll off my back and onto the street to be run over by the nearest passing trolley...and i never publicly out someone for their frugal nature, but i don't understand it...maybe it is because a lot of people i know, love, and respect in many other aspects of existence are deficient in the virtue of monetary generosity...it has even got to the point where i will give a friend with means more credit for not being cheap then i will a destitute friend for being cheap...i can understand if you have a few kids, a mortgage, maybe money is tight, but otherwise...jesus its fucking money...are you that attached to it...and before you accuse me of being the self-righteousness prick i am, i will say that yes, i too would rather be rich than poor...but either way, money is meant to be spent on good times, made when absolutely necessary, and saved when you are alone...but when with good friends, money is meant to flow freely...without a thought...like some vague taoist doctrine...this does not stop at simply money but also material goods...if a fellow friend needs a beer from your fridge...you oblige without a thought...maybe a place to stay for a week or two, you do not turn them down...but i suppose this tight-assed behaviour is just another aspect of human selfishness...in the end all the money you have made, saved, hoarded, or spent will turn to dust, along with your selfish rotting corpse...
