How much ever selfless a person can be, a few words of appreciation are always welcome. I’ve never been a selfless person for more than a few hours at a stretch. And for people like me appreciation is a driving force to become selfless. I do not believe that wanting some appreciation is selfish, but I do agree that a person who does not need appreciation is truly selfless. I don’t know a truly selfless person myself. I would like to meet at least one person who is truly selfless.
There would be two people at least to whom I can say that I have been selfless. I have sacrificed a lot of things for them. More for one than the other because there is a difference between them. I have tried my best to be someone who can give and not expect. I have given it my level best to help them out of situations which I could help them out from. More than the help for getting out of tight spots I have tried to teach them whatever little I know about life and I believe, so that may be the problems they think are so big may seem not so big. I have tried to imbibe in them some philosophies that I follow and that I have learnt to produce results. I’ve treated them as my kids (not literally but as much as I could). I’ve been a person who I never realized I had inside me…a person who could give more than take.
…but that me is dying a little more every day. I don’t want it to die but it cannot survive unless it gets some appreciation. It’s the only thing it needs to survive. The closer it gets to death the worse I feel. It feels like I will be losing a beautiful me and becoming what I have always been. It’s happening now and it’s not long before it all ends…if the people for whom I mean this understand please do something about it. It’s a desperate request.
I agree with this. This man is damn helpful and will do anything to help you to be a better person in life. One of the persons among the two mentioned in this blog is me. He has always been helping me in all ways to help me succced and improve but i have never appreciated it.And i believe that this is the reason your loved ones go away from you. So please appreciate any one in your life who has even contributed a bit towards you being a better person. Its true we all like appreciation and this appreciation drives us to work ahead with full enthusiasm.Appreciating some one for what ever he or she has done for us doesn make us small but not appreciating can demotivate people who are into this good deed to continue this selfless work.
