A burden not worth keeping

I don’t really get it why certain people we live around with thinks we owe them no matter what, where ever they see us, they want to take the little we have all because we either marry someone from their family, or being friends with them or because they have done us good before in our lives. it is always a good thing to meet someone you know or have relations with and give him/her something for their up keeping, but to the extent of them thinking it should be a routine something whenever we meet them becomes something else.

This stuff I am talking about today really got me when I had to escort a friend to the family house of her wife for an assignment. Suddenly after we have arrived there was this guy from no where who came straight to him with all forms of praise and so on. Immediately he started I knew where he was going to land and so I wasn’t surprised to hear him say he was waiting for him for money all because he is married to his sister.

In as much as he was willing to give him, he just on the second thought forgot him all because he said the guy had made up his mind to tax him wherever he meets him. So to stop him from such stuffs he was starting that day without giving him again so he does not see that as his duty to do such thing wherever he meets him. When we look around in our lives we see all such people moving around us.

On the other hand, have you also noticed that there are also certain people around us who do not always want to use anything of theirs for themselves than rather taking all you have for themselves without you having nothing. I noticed this guy from work complain about his fellow who does that to him all the time, and uses his for only himself.

For people like us, we tend not to mind and give out only when we can afford, because we can’t be on loans for others while we rather pay for them. So for all souls who always want to give what they don’t have, you should learn to say no when you don’t have the power to make things happen.

That was a very good article full of some of the most important life lessons one can give! It is okay and very good actually to be a giving person and help others in need, but there are limits to as how much you can do that, for how long, and also with who. It is also very important and wise to sometimes learn to say no when you can't anymore. Thank you very much for this reminder! All the best, take care, stay safe, much health, and keep up the good work here on HIVE! Have an excellent evening along with your close/dear ones as well! Namaste! 😊 🙏
