As we all know, there's a rule that we all know, we call it one of the laws of nature, it says
Give and it shall be given to you
Well, I am not questioning this statement, but why does it feels like it sometimes doesn't work for everyone, I know a giver, someone that I don't call him a giver, I call him an investor, not because he just invests in people, in facts, he helps people to the extent of them being stable, but now, he is down, where are all the people he has helped? Just one that we knew that use to help him.
Why is that phrase not working for him? Or should I say yet? Is there a time for that phrase to come to reality? I just wish him all the best...
Sometimes, giving is not the problem, but there are times we give to people to desperately needs the help at that moment, and so sometimes, we go out if our comfort zone just to see that whatever that person is going through is being settled, and so you then will have this Inner peace...
I can remember a day when I just came back from work that morning, (cause I was in the night shit) I was so stressed, and after I got home, I got this message from a friend, a very special one at that, she buzzed me that morning, saying she needed some amount of money, I was shocked, I mean this has never happened before, not in this life, even if she wanted to ask for help, not from me of all people, I first stood in confusion, and calculated the amount of influential people she has in her life, and I was like, i know a number of people that she knows that should be able to give her some comforting amount of money if she just place a call...
Nevertheless, I had to borrow her that money, now why I called it a risky loan was because I had to go out of my way get that money and that was my last card as of that day, I gave it to her, cause she promised me that she was going to give me back, so I gave her...
Guys, guess what? She gave me just about 30 - 40% of the money, and the rest is no where to be found, but if I didn't give her that as of then, I don't know what she'd have tagged me with...
Something happen with my brother too as of last year, the same thing happened, he called me unexpectedly while I was in work, and he asked me how much I had with me as of then, I told him I had about a 20k, and he was like I should please send the whole of it, that he was going to pay me back as soon as possible, this idea wasn't comfortable for me at all, cause that was my damn last card, but I was like because he is my brother, let me just do it for him, am so I gave him that last card of mine, and guys guess what? Till today, I have not seen nothing like my money, how do you expect me to react?
The funny thing was that he did the same thing another time for the same price in another way, but what can I do?
Sometimes I'll call it a sacrifice, and other times a gift, cause I gave, expecting in return, but you disappointed me, then it's now a gift to you from me, a by force gift, but it's well...
