Dear H,
I am writing to you in case you were serious about having thrown your iPod down the gutter. If you were not serious about that, then you may disregard the majority of this letter and skip down the the section marked
sarcasm.
It is my humble opinion, H, that you should not have done that with the iPod. First of all, it is still my opinion that the music was never the problem; you were only having trouble reconciling your emotions with the music. If my analysis was correct, then getting rid of your iPod was not at all necessary, because it wasn't what was causing the problem.
But you made your decision, and I'm not going to say it was wrong to get rid of your iPod. What I do disagree with is the manner of disposal. I offer three better options, which you may consider in case you find yourself in a similar situation in the future:
1) Giving the iPod as a gift. Here, you as well as the recipient derive benefit.
2) Selling the iPod on eBay, in a pawnshop, etc. Again, this is a win-win situation for you and the purchaser.
3) Disposing of it in a proper manner. If no one is willing to take the iPod off your hands, doing this wouldn't necessarily benefit anybody, but it wouldn't hurt anybody either.
(What you did was not a proper disposal. Throwing an iPod into a sewer will inevitably hurt the environment in some way -- sewage systems are not built to handle electronics. Many stores that sell electronics, such as Best Buy, have bins for recycling.)
Do consider these options, and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions.
