He believes people that work at food pantry at the church have ulterior motives for giving out food. He does not believe they are doing it for nothing. He asked me "Why do they do that? What are they getting out of working there every week giving away food?"
One day a few months ago we were in the car in line to get out food and I asked one of the people, a woman, why they do it and she said "It is the spirit of giving that motivates them. Kindness."
He does not believe it. He can't understand why anyone would donate their time and not get paid money for doing it.
He believes that a physical tangible thing must instantly result from any activity a person performs for someone else. They are all after something. They are after your money. People at work anywhere are only being nice because they get money out of doing their job.
He can't enjoy most things or activities. He says whatever you do costs you money.
I have asked him many times to name one thing that is free and he has no answer to the question.
He often says these things:
You can't get something for nothing.
Who are you trying to impress?
What are you getting, what do you get out of that? (talking)
I can't understand, I can't imagine, I don't understand, I don't get it. I don't know why.
