Black Friday's timing is morally wrong to me. Right after Thanksgiving people are willing to beat the crap out of someone else over a materialistic item, right after being "thankful" for what they have. I've only gone once and I vaguely remember it, but I do remember feeling tired and groggy, and since I had no money at all to buy anything it was pointless for me to go. I remember feeling left out because everyone else was buying things left and right and I was left to wander around. I felt ashamed because I had nothing to give to anyone for Christmas the next month, not even on the day of the year with the best prices to buy at. I'm going this year but I at least have $60 to spend on gifts this year which is far better than nothing.

I think of people who shop black Friday to be hypocritical and immoral. I know, I just said I'm doing it this year, but I really have no other choice unless I want to give something to only 3 people out of the many who have gone out of their way for me. Honestly I feel like I believe the way I do because of the way I was raised. I had no idea at all about black Friday until I pretty much left the family home. I don't feel like any item is worth a rampage of selfishness that can and has killed people. I'm really hoping I don't have a panic attack when the doors open and people start inconsiderately pushing everyone else out of the way. I'm just going to try really hard to stay out of people's way so I don't get trampled over. Being small as I am that is definitely a possibility. Being trampled over is what scares me the most.
