Let's say I give you $100 dollars, rcb. A few weeks later, after you have had plenty of time to think about and dream about ways to spend you $100, I meet you on the street on your way home, scruff you up, grab your wallet, and take your $100 dollars, saying, "Its mine, I never meant to give you that much anyway." and toss you a ten dollar bill before walking away. Would you be saying, "Well, without C3PX, I wouldn't even have this ten dollars!" It would be true, without me you wouldn't even have the ten bucks, but I still acted like a jerk in giving it to you, then taking it away from you again in a very rude way.
And now when you complain about what a jerk I am, my friends turn around and say, "Shut up whiner, it was his $100 bucks to give away and take back as he pleased! Stop whining about things that are not even yours. You got what you deserved.
