...Of guilt/pity...
Not the murder type guilt, but like, something as small as my own dad peering into my monitor, witnessing the amazing power of my graphics card with NFSU, in comparison to his GF2 MX400 - and i can tell what he's thinking. He isn't the die-hard gamer, but it helps when you can play something in glorious detail. It makes people feel better when they experience it. God dammit, i wanna go out an buy 'im a absolutely blistering GPU right now. Having said that, i bought my graphics card myself, but with a fraction of my inheritance money from a while back. He could just as easily buy one himself, but i want to treat him to it. He went above and beyond for me this christmas. I still feel as though the feeling is a weakness - a handicap. I can't be bothered to explain all the moments where i've felt this way, but i just hate it.
It's just been christmas, and even though my PC was crippled for days on end, i still felt like i was being spoilt.
I feel the strong wish to give my parents the cushiest early retirement known to man.

But, early retirement is GOOD - it means you've got enough cash to last! You don't make sense!

That's not the kind of guilt i'm on about. The kind of guilt i'm talking about is a mix of pity aswell.
I mean, when you see someone close to you with one of the most repetitive lifestyles, you've got to feel really, REALLY sorry for them, even though they're not at all depressed or sad, although they appear to be. I can pick up these feelings from other people like a dog (which are very good at this). For example, my dad, does night shifts, goes to bed at around 10am, wakes up at 5 or 6pm, has a few hours to himself, goes to work. And so it all repeats every day. On top of that, he has lots of duties around the house. He keeps it standing. Same thing goes for mum aswell - but for some reason, the feeling of pity for her is absent, as she seems a bit stronger and bubblier.
I could probably bring myself to tears just thinking about this whole thing, running over different scenarios in my head, made-up, created.

Shoot, i forgot to say My DAD tried to use it.
Replace HE with MY DAD
Replace HE with MY DAD
Yeh, i hate that feeling.
He tried to use my program i use for making games and programs on.
He really couldnt do it. I didnt want to help coz it would of took me days to explain how it works.
He just couldnt do it. I felt guilty and sorry for him. I still do.
But im glad i didnt help coz he wouldnt of been able to do it any.

Heh, that's nice.
And for once I'm not being sarcastic.
I hate that feeling too, and it's usually worst when it's the minorestest of things.
