Gratitude

How much do you have to sacrifice for people to appreciate what you have done for them. Many people who are the first child of their family spend their youth fussing after their younger siblings and their aged parents that they end up neglecting their own set goals and objectives.

The sad bit is that these people eventually find their feet(in the case of siblings) and the first born child is suddenly at a loss experiencing the flown nest syndrome. The question now is - are the beneficiaries of these acts of sacrifice thankful? Do they see it as an entitlement? Do the givers expect reward from the recipients? Are the recipients forever indebted to their benefactors?

When you sacrifice a lot for people, they become too dependent and when you stop, you become evil to them. Lesson, do good but look after yourself.
