Have you ever received a gift exclusively meant for you. A gift not to be shared with anyone? Well, weird as it may seem but it happens. This behaviour is mostly seen among children and their concept.of besties. They prefer their best friends to have exclusively whatever they give them so that same will not be shared with other kids, especially in school. Sounds crazy right?
This behaviour is rarely seen among adults though. However where an adult displays such a behaviour or makes such a gift people usually chide such a person as being childish. No adult gifts a gift or item of the selfish variety. Even among children, such gifts bring discord and hatred amongst them. It sometimes lead to stealing and or destruction of such a gift made.
Thus, in essence we should eschew from making such a gift so as to avoid the inherent problems that comes along with it.
