This is how I felt today! Yes I purposely ripped up the bill to convey this feeling.
Well after all, it's just a dollar bill right? It's only just a dollar, it's only money, just money!
I felt violated today, that unsettling feeling, that monetary value lost is replaceable, but that peace will be temporarily gone, but it'll return soon enough.
I'll just think that this lesson cost me a dollar.
...hours later...I'm feeling quite peaceful...
