Chris McCandless vs. KO Auction

So today I was invited to attend the annual Kingswood Oxford auction dinner for Alumni. No, I am not an alum, however, my father, of course, decided he needed to donate something to the auction, so my whole family needed to attend. My father is not a generous person, so I don't know why he decided to give someone the opportunity to be an intern at his job, but it is probably because he is trying to make up for the double life he led for quite some time. Whatever the reason is, I'm not buying it. My father still makes me sick, he would make me less sick if he just owned up to being an awful person, but he likes to try and pretend like he's not, which makes him even more volatile in my eyes. Anyways, I had to attend this dinner. Not only did I have to sit in the same room as people who have more money than they know what to do with, but I had to watch them spend ridiculous amounts of it on the stupidest things. For example, some obnoxious man who kept going on and on about how big of a hunter he was, which already made me develop a strong dislike for him, dropped two thousand dollars to allow his son and the rest of his grade to have a dress down day. Now if that is not one of the most absurd things I have ever witnessed, then I don't know what is. I was astounded by the fact that these people were wasting massive amounts of money, just in hopes of their child being able to wear sweatpants to school, or having a good parking space. Why not donate some of the money to a charity, try to help someone who is less fortunate, or at least do something half decent with it. I just could not believe how unaware these people were of what was going on in the real world. Their concept of money was so deranged that it made my stomach turn. Just thinking about how some of the stupidest people I ever met in my life were at this dinner, and the fact that they had so much money scares me a little bit. People that lack the ability to comprehend what is going on in the real world make me nauseous. I got so angry at this event that I got up and left an hour and a half before it was supposed to end. I could not be in the same room with those awful human beings for much longer, in a way, I kind of felt bad for them. But before I left, I did manage to make a very powerful speech about how these people should do something better with their money, if they were not planning on doing better things with their lives.
