One of the things that can easily be forgotten is to demonstrate the act of gratitude. While we should not expect anything in return for our good deeds, it cannot be helped that we notice how people easily forget.
Life is still worth living though some forget. The most important thing is you give without expecting anything in return and doing it not out of compulsion but to show an act of kindness, or the desire to help, or a conviction to be of service when it is needed. Sure there will be people who misconstrue even such gracious acts, or on the other hand, there are people who help to be heroes. These are things that have to be ignored. As my other half accepts as always true – “I do not care how some people look at the aid and support I give, even if they think with malice, it will always be my desire and the reason behind it that matters. I do not help to be popular.”
I have to admit that I am one who gets easily flustered by ingratitude. My other half always reminds me that I should not be spending time brooding on it but instead learn from it. He would always mention a relative that has this famous line “Mas magandang ako ang may nasasabi tungkol sa kanila kesa sila ang may masasabi tungkol sa akin (It would be better that I am the one that has things to say about them than them saying things about me).” To which I will always argue that there are people who utter things even if there is nothing to talk bad about.
