Ok Charlie Brown,
So what you are arguing is that it is wong to pay for the fun of of others, even when you know that event goes against your own likes?
I didn't pay for Bob's friend, John's friend, my friend, just to stroke my own ego.
I paid for John's trip because all three of us, Bob, John and I had been friends since the early 2000s. Nothing more. I didn't gain profits for paying for John's trip. I paid for it because he and I were a part of our late friend's Bob's life. NOTHING MORE.
It was hell for me on my second trip, not being a fan of road trips regardless of musical tastes, to sit in the back of a car for 6 days. It was also hell for me to listen to mostly country music the entire time. I didn't do that because I love country music. I did it because I love my best friend John who loves country music, and because our late friend Bob, loved both of us.
I still had a great time, despite the inequity in music tastes. I was outnumbered in the car ride for sure. But you wont get John, the friend I payed for to argue it was selfish on my part.
