The Heavy Cost

HEY BLOGGERS;

Let me tell you a story:

There was a boy living miles away from judgments, who from his childhood was always taught that if you keep good intentions, good things will always happen to you in life. He kept his intentions pure, and while doing so, one day he thought, "Why not give his love to the one who truly deserves it?" So he set out in search of that deserving person, and finally, he found them. But then, because of that love, all the bonding he had with that person was completely shattered. That person ruined all his memories. How terrible that person must have been—despite having sincere intent, he still ended up screwing up everything. Or maybe it was just society that taught him that good intentions always bring good things.

He never took offense at anyone’s words, never wished to compete—he just came to rule, but to rule the heart of someone special. Somehow, that person started seeing him as a competitor and broke him completely, and that was the end of his era for making friends. They compared him to those beneath him, people he never wanted to be like, but now he had become one of them. How awful a person he must be, to have messed up even after having good intentions.

And after that, the foundation of friendship he had built over three to four years, it all broke in a moment. His friendship, his strong bonds, and the person he considered a major part of his life—all were lost.

People don’t really listen to you; they just pretend to.

So, what this story teaches us is that neither intentions nor efforts matter in life. Only one thing truly matters—self-respect—which the boy finally understood when the person who once meant everything to him started treating him like a competitor. The poor guy was just ready to submit his banner, but no one noticed.

People forget your efforts; good intentions go unseen; one mistake, just a single confession, and people forget all your goodness. They forget your emotional boundaries. Sometimes, it feels like you never even existed for them.
