Give Wisely

Kindness needs boundaries

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

One day we will understand

That to give something to someone

We must know how to "choose"

"be kind" to the right place, the right person

Don't be a "stupid" person

Who will persuade anyone

Easily until it becomes "stupid"

Selfish people will not see

The sacrifice of others

But the "little thing" that they do

See it as "very great"

Because they "receive" until they are used to it

So they "expect" not to be satisfied

It becomes our duty

To be a giver all the time

Give less and get called "narrow-minded,"

Stop giving and become "heartless"

Should have a limit from the beginning

Must draw a line in the relationship

Keep a distance, leave space

Importantly, we must be "comfortable"

Not too much until being "crossed the line"

Not weak to the point of looking like a "coward"

If you can be with us, stay with us

If being with us only "loses"

Then you should "split up"

Think of winning the heart of "selfish people"

By "giving"

No matter how much "give"

It is "not enough!"
