Aww, It's so sad what happened between you and that lady. But you are right, gifting is definitely more about intentions and less about the material itself. What piqued my curiosity in this article is your culture. The fact that rejecting gifts is considered a taboo, can you please tell me which tribe you belong to? Honestly, I've never heard of such before.

I am a Yoruba man actually and it's better to accept than turn away. There are no natural consequences for rejecting a gift but people can be very funny, I really don't like getting on the bad sides of people.
oh, I've never really thought of it like that. But you are right, we Yorubas place emphasis on respect and honor.
