irresponsible behaviours
picture this (fictitious)... a young man, john, suffers from a painful disease and family has to look after him both financially and physically. though painful for him, it was more painful for his family to watch him. after some years, decided to free himself from the misery as the pain was too much to bear. jumped down and died. my verdict....selfish bum. result....parents and siblings cry their eyes out every day and after so many years, his parents still can't get over it. life for every family member changed and relationships were broken. parents became depressed, siblings became protective of parents and could not let anyone else come before them. would it have been different if he had been more appreciative of all that the family is doing for him and work on love and concern rather than having the focus on his misery and pain? would it have been different and easier on the family if he had died in the process a happier person? i believe so.
don't harp on what's negative, be appreciative of what's available unconditionally. smokers...i've said this before and i will say it again. SELFISH. why deceive yourself by saying "if the family loves me, they will accept my smoking". how about telling yourself "i love my family and i will not allow smoking to destroy them".
receiving is happiness, giving is even more satisfying. don't expect to be receiving all the time. after a while it will stop.
start giving to receive more. what you give will be returned many times more.
