A man slaughtered a big goat, lit the grill and said to his daughter: "Call our relatives, friends, and neighbours to eat with us... let us feast!"

His daughter took to the street and started shouting:
"Please help us put out a fire at my Dad's house!".

After a few moments, a small group of people came out, while the rest acted like they didn't hear the cry for help.
Those who came ate and drank until late.

The stunned father turned to his daughter and said to her:
"The people who came I barely know them, some I had never seen before, so where are our relatives, friends, and neighbours ?"

The daughter said.
"Those who came out of their homes came to help us put out a fire in our house and not for the party. These are the ones who deserve our generosity and hospitality"

*Moral of the story*
Those who don't help you during your struggle, shouldn't eat with you at your victory party!!

Saw this the other day on FB . And thought it to be very sweet.

But in most commuties they will just show up because they nosey or because they wanna see you go up in flame not beacuse they there to help and support you, you will still be feeding people who don't give a damn about you;)

... For a happy life..

Do not worry yourself with the intentions or motivations of others.

Give when you can and want to, without reservation and without expectation.

And if the time comes when you are the one that needs to ask and take, do it without shame.
