I so distinctly remember him saying he would get a new toy, want a new toy so bad and then once he had it, after that first day, the satisfaction wore off and he wanted more.

He was of course talking about himself as a child and of course he's the perfect master so i never questioned that. When I think about it I would have worried for my child had they shown those attributes

But when I look back, that was not my experience as a child, I had the most enormous repeat satisfaction from the simplest of toys that I can still recall with an almost visceral pleasure. The mere thought of them brings it back, the fun lives on

This discourse of his which he drummed in until it couldn't be drummed in any more had me feeling that nothing was really worth wanting or having or playing with. 

The enjoyment will end and the emphasis is on that end, he has painted it to be an immediate end almost as soon as you start to enjoy it. 

But life needn't be that way. Although it obviously is for him. I guess he doesn't want any one else having more fun than him.

The gratitude he harped on about is enough to bring far more pleasant experiences or more pleasure from the mundane, but he was only referring to gratitude to him for 'this gift', and hint, hint hopefully repayment in the form of $$$

Amar probably knew that the first few rides in that car were going to be the only fun to be had in it, after that it was going to be on to the next thing. 

M plied me with this idea, along with many others, until I thought it was mine, but it isn't and it's not how I live or how I want to experience life either. he's a first class twit, I hope his kids rebel
