DON'T EXPECT THANK YOU

in #philosophy7 years ago

A load put on the wheelbarrow can later be measured, but a good deed is a blessing that cannot be measured, one of the major reason why this is so is that you never knew what level of good your deed has done in the life of your benefactor.

Ordinarily, I can not consider any other thing important than doing something good. But the reason why you do that thing is as important as any other thing that may be valued equally to the dees you have done ( if there is any ).

But contrary to people expectation of a thank you after they do something I preach against it, ordinarily, my culture support being thankful after being respective. But I think many reasons may back my view.

Seriously, as I said no good deed is small and good deed can never be measured, simply because the receiver will be the one who can only determine the gravity of impact.

For instance, on a fateful day, I went to my friend house after lecture and he offered me a simple glass of cup and I was very happy, in fact, my joy on that day was immeasurable simply because I have been very thirsty even before we commence lecture when we were at class, and also, on getting home my brother has done a very good job in cleaning my room. But to me on that day what my friend did was the thing that gave me the most joy, although I showed appreciation to both of them that same day, I continued showing gratitude to my friend for more than a week.

In the case above if my brother had considered what he did for me something that should fetch him a big thank you for more than once, you can believe with being that he had been disappointed.

If you are good giver give freely and don't expect thank you from anyone, expecting thank you are not in anyway good. It even outvalues what you might have done.

Something can even be considered in another direction:

  • If you buy yourself clothes, did you say thank you to yourself?
  • If you buy yourself a drink or food, did you appreciate the money you used to buy it?
  • Have you ever even thank the creator of your source of giving perfectly?

Many more instances can be considered, but the little one consider should zero your mind off thank you for every good deed.

The repayer of debt will definitely repay everyone doing something.

I wish you a wonderful day.

Until next time, let's communicate better in the comment section, both on your blog, mine and others.

hehe that was something really different :D

LOL..... Well it depend on our perspective

Hmmm..... It's like you are a manufacturer of posts..... I hope you are resting. A good one. God is the rewarder and our good deeds will be rewarded by Him.

LOL, thanks for the beautiful commendation ma, I'm truthfully resting ma...... I really like the compliment "God is the rewarder and our good deeds will be rewarded by Him."

Thanks for stopping by Ma..

I think it is actually better to give without expecting a thank you, because most times we don't get it and that might make us change our mindset about giving. But, if we give without expecting a thank you back, it will be really better for us as we will learn to give more.
Although, this are just mere words of lips for me, because I still struggle with helping someone and the person does not appreciate, on most occasions I get angry about it and I make up my mind not to help that individual any more . I wish I could be like some people who help and do not expect a thank you, I really do expect a thank you from the people I help because when people help me, I constantly say a big thank you to them.

Seriously, I appreciate your honest contribution, and like you said, it is better to give without expecting thank"..... Truth must be told. Expectation of thank you after doing something is nit actually good enough because if you don't get it, will you start doing bad? So, that's my reason Ma....

Welcome back bro. I have been expecting you sha

@honourmaus, nice post. But i like being frank, if i do something for someone and i dint get a thank you, i wonder the kind of upbringing he or she has. see this case, a friend travelled to a place where he knew no one he could pass the night with ,and couldnt make it coming back that day. He didnt even tell me he was travelling, but when i knew from his wife, i started making arrangement for my friends there to accomodate him, i spent much calling my friends there to help, so he wont waste money on hotel bills, the wife was afraid he would even be stranded cos he didnt have much money on him. I connected the guy to my friends, linked him up without him asking but do you know that it took two days for me to know he is back and uptil now, i didnt hear thank you? You may not believe it but its the truth. I wasnt happy and when i complained to my husband, all he said was, who sent you in the first place? did he tell you he was travelling or ask for your help? Even he couldnt help to thank me.lol. so in all, i dont do things for people to thank me but if i go extra mile for you and you dont recognise it with a thank you, i blame your upbringing and watch if that kind of ungrtateful element can still pass for my friend. He will be teaching bad manners.Thanks
