When you........
cross the line from
being grateful to expecting and demanding things from another person
and the exchange becomes uneven it is best to pull back. I find that
lately people appear to expect things from you that they are simply
unwilling to do for you or others.
And when you draw the line they
become resentful and ungrateful as eaten bread is soon forgotten. It
has become a me me society, a victim society, whereby the focus is on
ME, let's talk about ME, let's talk about ME some more. Look at what
HE/SHE did to me? Look at what HE/SHE said to me, and they remain
blissfully unaware of their own part in the causation of this exchange.
Nothing occurs where it is 100% the fault of one or another, there has
been an exchange that escalated to what now may be, but what now may be
is not what will be or what could be.
And it is not what someone DOES
to you that matters it is how YOU choose to react, as IF the same thing
occured from a person whom you had no feelings for would NOT cause the
same emotional reaction from you, it is YOUR feelings for that person
that causes their words, actions, lack of words or actions to hurt
you... YOU chose that response to the perceived slight....
When you tell someone something and they not only do not validate it,
but they one up your story, as in they are sicker, they are in a worse
situation it can become quite draining especially when it is continuous. It is up to us to do the right thing by our friends/lovers but for the right reason, because when we do the right thing for the wrong reason, it ceases to be the right thing....
