It's taken me a long time to accept that no matter what good you do in life for someone, no matter what sacrifices you make, it is in human nature that a majority of people will thank you initially, but will forget you eventually. I have had great trouble in accepting this.
Good deeds are like a sand castles on the beach.
What might have been there in all its glory, is eventually consumed by the tides of time, and whatever emotion that was attached to it, are washed away, replaced, as if they never existed.
Just be at peace with yourself, that for whatever good deed you have done, that it was done with the intent to better one’s life, and that in itself should be enough. Any expectation of gratitude or recognition as a means of finding self-worth or purpose, is tedious and ultimately futile. You will soon be disappointed in yourself, but also the ones you wished to aid in good faith. And that in itself is a tragedy.
The real ones will remember you, but you and only you know what your true worth is. 10 replies
