Do you deserve better?

[superB]

Lately I've been getting really angry at people around me. Sometimes its plain old irritation, other times its jealousy & other times its an overwhelming sense of indignation. If feel like shouting "I deserve to be treated better".... Then I have to sit back and ask myself: DO I actually deserve better?

When is enough enough? How much punishment do we take for the sins of our past? When do you stand up and say "I've paid my dues, now I deserve to be treated with respect"... ?

When do you stand up and say "I've paid my dues, now I deserve to be treated with respect"... ?

The day that you actually do it. You decide, now, later or even never.

I wonder the same thing and I posted about it.

I am constantly rescuing people, having to take on additional responsibilties, bail people out, etc. People either think I am the bank or I am a pro bono attorney.

I keep wondering when will my turn come to reap rewards, to get something out of it all, to be the beneficiary.

The flipside: I look at people who have so much less than me, but still manages to smile, to treat others with respect, to keep their dignity and not to choose crime as their way out and then I realise that I am indeed blessed

I try and treat everyone like I want to be treated.

Sometimes it freakig hard though.

IMO Respect is earned and by respecting people but still showing them your not a door mat you will earn their respect

That is waht we tend to forget. In the end if you do something for another without expecting anything that is usually when good things will happen. Not easy though.
