Was jus sharing w my gerl recently, the differences of 2people while discussing a topic that came to our attention. The ones who does things for love ones, sacrifices, give more & speak less bt will never once ask for return favor & the ones who will also do things for love ones, sacrifices as its a responsibility, give weneva afford to or only if it doesn't burden them and will later bring it up example "I hv done these.. those... that for u but u didnt do the same for me".. yes ofcos deep inside we expect love, care & respect fr people who we do all tat for but tis should nt be a demand/expectation. If we do it for love & for sake of Allah, actually we do not hv to say it at all. Check our intentions 1st, cos i do believe if we do things out of love & sincerity & nvr ask anythg in return - InsyaAllah it may take time but love, care & respect will naturally & eventually comes to us in return. (Experience it for real wit my kids - there r times wen our kids may upset us, so i kp telling myself i do it for Allah cos HE sent them to me as a blessings/my amanah, no matter hw tired i am & at times i do stil nag & advise cos im really so exhausted, its ok if i dnt rest enuf for them cos we will gt our 'final rest' eventually; once i thk positively & leave the rest to Allah, my kids will smhw be sweet to me, does things out of their own will even jus cos tey in gd mood la🤭🥰)
Sometimes we are nice to others with
the expectation that they need to be nice to
us and if they're unkind in return, we feel
offended. That's not kindness.
True kindness is giving without expecting anything in return or using it as a bargaining tool.
