GIVING X GENEROUSITY. It has been very relevant lately that people in all wallks of life had come across these opportunities but turned a deaf ear or a blind eye immediattely.The reason?We no longer see the gratitude from the needy,maybe they had been through rougher times,darker days or generousity was really scarce to them as well.Yes ,how people react to our good intentions are what drives us to either go on or revert.We get inspired to continue giving with just a simple "thank you". Well, some have more patience and had trained to be totally selfless to expect anything in return.Unlike me ,being a practical person coming from my own personal struggles as well secretly wishes to be thanked as a confirmation or assurance that I was doing something right.It's like "existing" for the first time. I am not a hypocrite to just say it's just ok to be kind and shrugged off in return or even mulled and abused back ,to be honest it made me loose my faith in mankind for years.It was just until one day,a miracle happened to me.One person I treated unfairly reached out his hands to me and gave me all that he got just to make me feel good about myself.That even if I suffered in the process he saw the kindness of my heart eventhough he never experinced it first hand from me.From then on he gave me a new pair of wings and freed me from my own prison of doubt and fear of caring for others.After this miracle ,I stood up with a healed heart.
