Giving back to society and where you started from

[MUGNIA]

I agree with you, but not many people can do that. Most people will forget their origins, let alone the lower classes. Sometimes even siblings forget about their more difficult relatives because they are already successful and rich. I really respect people who still remember their origins and I hope we can all share when we are on top.

it really is sad that even with families people forget connections and relationships for money

some family members will only think about you when it is time to ask for money and take advantage you but this is not true for all family members, some family members remain to be important parts of our lives who support and respect our paths in lives these are the kinds of people you should pay back

Yes, the most important part of a family is the father and mother, they never ask for anything in return from us as their children, only we must and are obliged to remember their sacrifices because without their blessing we would not be like we are today, but what about siblings, it is difficult to say because sometimes the circumstances of each sibling are different

At least where I am from, parents expect their children to take care of them when they are older and there are people who get married and have children only so there is someone to take care of them when they are older. This is cultural trait where I live.

Same here, on which its really that not a mandatory thing but actually there are parents who are really that expecting something positive about their kids will really be that taking care of them. Actually its not really that not needed because on the moment that you are already that having such thinking as a parent then you are already that forcing them on the things on which you arent that needing to be done but actually its really that a common sense that you would really be needing to take care of your parents when they do get old. Its an ethical thing to be done but sadly not all people will really be having this kind of mindset. We should be taking care of our parents on which we wont really be that reaching up on where we are now if they arent because of them.

I also seen people who made billions and gave 70% of their earnings to charity so every kind of people exist in this world. It's honorable act to help people who are in need but we can't force them to do, it's only possible in self realisation. More likely they have to remember their hard days in their childhood and imagine someone is still going through the same could be a driving force.

I think it's not just in your country, it's the same in my country, but most parents are embarrassed to live in their children's / in-laws' houses if they are still healthy they are more comfortable living in their old house, but if they are sick what can they do they have no choice but to live in their children's or in-laws' houses, so sometimes people often say that children don't care about their parents when in fact parents sometimes don't want to trouble their children with polite words they don't want to burden their children.

Yes, that's true, and I think it's right behaviour as well, one should not burden others as long as one has abilities to do things by oneself.

There was one blind lady in my area (she got blind due to some disease she had earlier in life), despite being blind, she used to do everything by herself, she was such an inspiration.

Yeah, that makes sense. A lot of parents don’t want to be a burden on their kids, even if they need help. They just say they’re fine because they don’t want to trouble anyone. That blind lady sounds really inspiring! It’s amazing how some people stay independent no matter what challenges they face.

Practicing Thanksgiving or gratitude is helpful, knowing that you could improve yourself with that. Imagine noticing the small things and being thankful for them. That’s a significant impact on yourself and possibly the people around you.

That is one way to give back, in my opinion.

In the journey of life there are different phases that we go through there are people who where Born with silver spoon while there are people who where Born with wooden spoons I have also come to the realization that there are people who where also born with no spoon in their hands.

For such people they will have to start life from the scratch and toil day and night so they can get a spoon in which they will use in eating, for such people it's not easy going and I have seen people in this category who where Born with out a spoon make it in life,  But one thing that I seen is that people who started life with nothing and made it big has forgotten where they started from. Giving back to society is one thing that we need to inculcate with in our heart and see how we can make society better for the once coming behind us

Giving back to the community that nurtured you is very important, most especially when you become successful. Because they are the people that stood by you, motivated you and also support you until you reach where you are. Therefore the people who supported, motivated and stood by you during your journey deserve an appreciation and recognition. If you turn your back on your society just because you are successful and you think that they are no longer on your level, it can hinder your further progress. As a saying goes "IF YOU FORGET WHERE YOU COME FROM, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW  WHERE YOU ARE GOING" that is why it is very important to stay grounded and connected to your root no matter how successful you are.

[bhadz]

I always give back to my own community. I am not just saying it here and on the other side but I want to keep it private. I'll let the Almighty in the above to give it back to me. But I've been blessed and that's why I am giving back to whichever thing and amount that I can give back to these beautiful people that I use to meet at most times. I know how tough life is but seeing a smile on the faces of these great people is more than rewarding for me and it helps me that I get to know my purpose.

Yes, the most important part of a family is the father and mother, they never ask for anything in return from us as their children, only we must and are obliged to remember their sacrifices because without their blessing we would not be like we are today, but what about siblings, it is difficult to say because sometimes the circumstances of each sibling are different

Yes the both parents sacrifice everything for their children to be a better person tomorrow, if you see what some parents does to train there children you will have petty on them and just as you said, after all this suffering they go through, they never feel entitled that there children must provide for them, so that's why every parents deserve to be loved by there children because they have done so much, so the only little appreciation is to take care of them and give them reason that all there sacrifices wasn't a waste, however siblings can also be included because everybody needs somewhere to hold in other to rise so the extending hands is a rising to them.

I understand what you are saying but particularly on sacrifice part, I would say if parents decide to have children then it becomes their responsibility to nurture kid, and nothing is 'sacrifice' there. First, you decide to create child and then say I sacrificed for you, it's bullshit imo.

Life is not the same for everyone. Some are born rich while others struggle from nothing. Many who start with nothing and succeed often forget their struggles. It is important to give back and help those coming after us to make life better for everyone.

I think it depends on a person's nature, if they have a kind and generous nature they will always remember their sacrifices and not forget where they come from and not forget to share with others so that this life is useful for people in need, but if their nature is tough and feel they don't need help from others they will be arrogant and forget their true selves, there is a saying that if someone is in the above condition we will know the true nature of that person.

This is on point and actually true on which that each person is totally different when it comes into this aspect on which there are those who are that thinking up back on where they were before and give out something back at the moment that they have achieve success and never forgotten on where they have started and thats the difference into those people who do mind off about it and  thats a good trait i should say. There are people never forgotten on where they have started when they are just that building up their dreams. Although not all people who dont come back does mean that they arent minding on where they do came from. We dont know that they might just that too busy?

This is very touching. I wish people could practice the act of thanksgiving and gratitude, it helps a lot because it opens more doors for one with a grateful heart. Sometimes being grateful also opens doors for others, too, because if someone helps you and you say thank you, the person would be moved to help others that come their way.
