Cross the ocean....

I also heard that phrase, it is true to some extent. I followed a broadminded way with two people in my life, I always pardoned their mistakes and never bother about the returns. Unfortunately both of them showed their real colour after their gains. There I learned, this phrase is true too. I do help people still without expecting returns but now I do only for the deserved ones.

Well said. It's more blessed to give than to receive.

One wouldn't cross a puddle for you and you would cross the ocean for that selfish creature. No siree, love and life do not call for condoning the lazy and the selfish. With family and friends, even if there is a difference in opinions, people meet more than halfway to understand or help the other. We give. That gesture can be reciprocated in many ways. Receiving is heartwarming.

I never live by quotes and great thoughts.. real life is lot different lol...

@Aansh13 I really loved this post. I've also never heard that saying before. And your way of looking at it now makes me view it two ways. When I first read it I thought "That is so true. Why bother doing so much for people who don't respect or care a lot for me." So I took it as not giving so much to people who may be using you or not appreciating you. But I also view it like you're saying because I love to do things for people without expecting anything back. And I will forever continue to do so but I don't want to be too helpful for people who don't deserve my kindness. So I am viewing this saying in two ways. I think it's fine to want to do things for people and not expect anything back but I don't agree that we should keep on helping people who treat us badly or don't appreciate what we do. That is where I draw the line.

Exactly. You have to serve well to gain anything. There are something more important than money I believe. And good day.

I 100% agree with you.

That's nice... Great of you to do so

Totaly right my friend
