I come across some friends(?) who always expect me to give, but not ready to give. Also they are quite ungrateful. It hurts. But I question myself ‘who is getting hurt and why? ’

788. Friend? ! Mirror of my ego! 190209
Friend? !
Let your rude words prick my heart mad;
Let your unthankful act make me very sad;
After all you are mirror of my ego bad!
Friend? !
Asking is your right; giving is mine
Counting my gifts secretly in mind
I may refuse too, reflecting ego behind!
Friend? !
Let your stingy hands give me nothing
Why should I expect in return anything?
Even ‘thanks’ will add to ego something!
Friend? !
Be shrewd; be clever; be cunning;
Each blow you give that is stunning
Will beat my ego to let Self winning! 190209
analysis has another name called...Savithri great work giving and taking is all about friendship? is there anything beyond? Sun, Air and other natural forces do not expect us to give anything but they go on giving the takers come and go but the givers attain eternity! is it something Nature wants us to imbibe? wonderful work...
