Some are climbing down TGs throat for daring to expect more from society. Honestly, its not much to expect someone to show some gratitude or appreciate. Yes society in general is failing in such behavior, but that is no reason to let the standard or expectation be lost.

Whenever I help out, I look for sincerity when people utter simple words like "thanks", "this meant alot to me", or "Im going to pass it forward and help someone else." If it doesnt happen, then no big deal. I simply remind myself not to help again these same people or organizations, as there are others that are also in need.
