Today is my big brother's birthday today and did I send him a gift? No! Did I send him a card? No! Have I text him to wish him a happy birthday? No! Will I call him later when he has finished work? No! Why is that you may ask?...

apples99 Well in my family we don't always send gifts not because we don't care but because times are tough and we know that we can't always afford to buy a gift for every single birthday so instead we say happy birthday with an understanding heart and we are just...

Jkct02 Of course it is always easier said than done to be staying always in positive. There were times when I did feel sad or angry. I guess all of us just have to walk the long path of life and learn to appreciate it more. Life is not perfect. But we can always make...

choybel Well, I can see your point and I do understand, but like what jkct said and as I have also stated, it's just better to just do the right or the good thing. Besides, at least doing the good thing won't leave you bothered knowing that you have done something...

choybel I agree with what jkct02 stated here. I, too feel that doing good despite what others think or do or not think or not do to you is just better. I like to think of it as just being the better person.

Jkct02 I know and understand your frustration. I have also felt the same way very often - why always me doing that and why wouldn't they do in kind to me? We are just human :) But I will always try to clear my mind of these uncomfortable feeling. I try to focus on...

Jkct02 I may sound idealistic but I really feel that we should always do what we think is right and not react to what other people do. We should live for ourselves and so we should do what we want to do. Doing a good deed is good by itself. It is even better if the...

Rosa26 I think that you have to talk to the mom, maybe it is not going to surprise her, because I think each mother knows what kind of child they have, so maybe she will listen to you and do something to stop the behavior of her son.
