THANKFULNESS LEADS TO CONTENTMENT
Mansi:
P
eople do things for one another because they care for them without an ulterior motive behind it. If it is done with a bad motive in mind, the caring isn't there, it is more of - "what's in it for me?" When anyone does something for you, it is always good to appreciate it - then you are always happy. If you think it is your right to expect others to do things for you then you will always be discontent because it will never be enough.

(Sonia comes running into the kitchen in sports clothes)
Hey, little Sis. I knew you'd be hungry after your soccer game, so I made some cookies for you.
(Grabs the plate from her sister) Cookies! All right. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
Sonia, haven't you forgotten to say something?
(Examining the cookies) Forgot what? I think you're the one who forgot. You know I like chocolate chips in my cookies, and you forgot to put them in here. Oh well, just remember that next time. (She starts munching on the cookies.)
