Brownies for Kisses

Today I was offered kisses as payment for a pan of brownies that I, as yet, have not baked.

After some angry contemplation, I have decided that both this offer, and my initial temptation to accept, cheapen the reason why I ever baked the brownies in the first place. I fear that my motives have become tainted with selfishness. I bake so I can share with others. I belive it is wrong of me to expect some form of payment, or any thanks at all even, in return. That goes against the principles on which I live my life.
