In talking with my ex last night, I came to the realization that humanity, despite being vulnerable in all its emotional quests for fulfillment/satisfaction and reciprocity.. is really unaware of its selfish modus operandi. Not many people study spiritual practices and the fact that people may be altruistic.. it is always with a desire to receive something in return. Very few of us actually know how things operate and if given the option a person would not give simply for the sake of giving. And Here in lies my dilemma of trust, very few, if any, of my peers.. even those whom do participate in spiritual practice, noticeably might not even be aware of Bestowing for the sake of Bestowing and not receiving Anything in return and in which the practice of Equanimity is taken place.. No good or bad feeling. Most of my emotional expectations are towards my mother due to how jankity our relationship is.. But when it comes to boys and friends, I dont expect very much.. Maybe its really because Ive just been let down so much.. But even still it hasnt deterred me from giving simply for the sake of giving and needing nothing in return, and its here that he reminded me of the sweet unexpected surprise when someone else gives to you not having expected it. But remember people hardly give if not with intentions for later on down the road, knowing this then one can simply understand and forgive selfish behaviours because they simply know not what they do.
