活在自我欺騙和樹立英雄的假象當中

如果你總希望從別人那裡索求對自己的感激之情，你就已經忘了唯一能給你的人，就是你自己。

而當你得不到你想要的時候，你開始覺得生氣和怨恨，因為你只看到自己是一個給予者，以為別人忘恩負義虧欠你很多很多。

其實，你的付出與給予是非常單純、善良的一個動機罷了，不要本末倒置只為了獲得別人的感激或報恩。或許在很久以前，你也曾經在生活中產生困頓，然而你已經忘了當時是如何得到別人的青睞與協助，你也曾欠別人一份情。

醒醒吧！不要繼續活在自我欺騙和樹立英雄的假象當中。只要記住，生命可是一條雙向的道路啊！

A person who seeks for sense of gratitude from others is the person who doesnt know how to apply it to his own being. He who only sees himself as a giver is the one indebted big time to someone else. So let us not live in deceit and become self righteous for a simple act of goodwill because maybe once upon a time in our lives we needed a favour from others, and we have forgotten that we owe them something as well. Just remember life is a two way road.
