If you do something and think you
should get something in return, what you will probably get is angry (see angry
smilie...which is perfect because one who gives to get smiles but is seething
with anger).
Doing to get, always leads to anger
because you have an expectation of return and expectations usually lead to
disappointment which also leads to anger.
If you just begin to do things, just
for the sake of doing them, not to get something, not for someone to owe you
something, but just for the simplicity of doing/giving (which is all we truly
do anyway, we just do what we do), without an expectation of return then we get
the gift of giving without the return of disappointment and anger. You
give and let go. You don't sit there with a sheet of paper that says
"I did this for so and so and I did that for that," if you do...what
will add up at the and of your tally will be a lot of anger
and disappointment for all the things you feel are owed to you that
haven't been repaid.
Anger and disappointment can be seen
as a Gift, because anger and disappointment have led you to reading
these words which will now lead you to watch yourself and see...
When you do something, do you expect
that something good will happen to you because you did it? Do you think
that person owes you something because you did something for them? If you
look at these questions and see, be honest with yourself and see ... are you
doing to get something in return? Do you have a tally of what you think
people and life owes you? If you do...you will miss the many other ways
that life comes and gives to you, maybe not how you wanted, but gives you
exactly what you need, and that may very well be a lot of anger and
disappointment until you see what you are holding against others.
No
one owes you anything, and you do not owe anyone.
