Too many incidents lately has made me realised that many people don't give two quacks about being grateful for the help they have received. It's not about the person offering the help being "tidak ikhlas" but a little gratitude every once in a while wouldn't hurt.
It's like almost expected that a person should help another regardless of the person's state. Imagine spending hours, sometimes days, helping someone out with a problem thinking "that's what friends do" but at the end of the day, not a word of thanks is uttered back.
I often wonder what's the point in helping others if all they do is stick up their nose high in the air and pretend like they weren't in any need of help in the first place? Unfortunately, my (usually non-showing) good samaritan side comes out and still offers to be the fool doing the donkey's work trying to help those ungrateful souls out of the grave they dug for themselves. Why? Because if we don't help them, who will?
I just hope I'm not the stupid enough to always be the fool. No douby my slightly compulsive behavior that strives for perfection usually leads me to being such a person. I just don't want to be the one that day in day out helps (I'm potraying myself as a nun) but when it's my turn to be the friend in need, everyone else just turns their backs.
Oh well, one can only hope.
