Honestly, it's sad when you look into people's eyes now, you feel that there is no longer the same spirit that existed before. Before, you used to find eyes full of warmth, full of readiness to give without calculation, without waiting for something in return. Now? Everyone is calculating that he will take first, and if he thinks of giving, it will be after he is sure that he has taken enough and more.
I'm not saying that the world was perfect, or that all people in the past were angels, but there was a kind of balance. There was someone who really cared about you, not just for interest. There was someone who asked about you because he wanted to be reassured, not because he needed something. There were people who helped from their hearts, not while waiting for a return.
Now you feel that relationships have become all about calculations, even the simplest things have interest. People now see what they will gain before taking any step. If someone does something good, you find them waiting for a word of thanks or appreciation, and if it doesn't come, there will be no next time. In the past, giving was without conditions, without expectations, without complicated calculations.
I don't know, is it the times that have changed or is it us who have become like this? Maybe it's the pressures of life, maybe technology has made communication easier but feelings are colder, maybe everyone has become so burdened with their worries that they no longer have time to think about anyone else. But what I am sure of is that life without true giving has no taste. The eyes that used to be warm and giving have become eyes waiting to take more than they give. The problem is that if we continue in the same way, we will find ourselves in a cold world, where there is nothing but taking, and no trace of giving.
