If You Were Me, What Should You Do?
By erlymags ( @cely / @lovern )
This is about confession. I have helped three people got employment in the university where I am teaching, two females and one male. Except the other one for she is already a retired teacher in the public school, but the other two became regular teachers. They got an item last year, but none of them said thank you to me. In fact, one teacher is my second degree cousin, but it seems she does not anymore remember how I plead to the program head to hire her. How I like to say in front of her that she has thick face hahaha, maybe more than that. What makes me feel bitter about her is , she was wed last year and never had she invited me. What a shame on what she had done to me. What relieves me is the word of God that we are judge according to our deeds. The word deed inspires me, but you know, I am just human and sometimes I cannot avoid grinding my teeth hehehe.
If you were me, what should you do? Are you going to strike her? I am not a quarrelsome type that is why that relative is so lucky, if nit she will surely be kicked out in school. I hope she will have a better life after marriage. I just remember her but never will I treat her as my relative. I believe she would have a bad karma. I am nit cursing her, but that is the reality, in fact, it is written in the bible and even found in the aphorism of Confucius which stated that : “ Don’t do unto others what you don’t like others do unto you.” The other one I helped is my male friend. One day I met him along the road looking so desperate and depressed.
I have learned that he was removed from the school where he served for five years for some reasons only he knew. So, to make the story short, I brought him to our dean’s office and recommended him verbally; afterwhich, he was told to submit his credentials. The next day, he was hired, so instant; the reason is the dean likes me for I am so sincere and loyal to our head. Every time there is a contest by department, it is always me she recommends to represent a dance number whew, that was not too much for I also like to dance. Whatever dean likes me to do, I obey for it is very important to obey first before you complain, LOLS.
That friend became regular but never had he remembered me during important celebrations. There are many ingrate people in the world. All I can say is there is God that sees all our deeds. Somehow I told myself, I should have not helped them. I better helped some unknowns for they will surely remember me and show some acts of gratitude. The other one already 68 years old, but I told dean to hire her because her pension is not enough for her medicine maintenance medicine. She was hired and given up to this time 5 loads. Better this old lady, every birthday of mine; she always gives me a very nice birthday card. I told her not to anymore give but she insisted for she found some happiness doing it. There are indeed individual differences. I do not know what should you do if you were me.
Thank you for reading. I hope you have found some lessons on my experience.

There are indeed insensitive people. I now fully agree that there are so many of them like those people mentioned here I helped got employment, useless being. I hope they would not stumble on the rugged ground so they will surely see my face to beg for another help which i would rather say to them, enough is enough. You are not human enough to be given trust and consideration.
I think that is becoming so normal with people like we are. Just like when a person is trying to loan some money from you. YOu are the most important person to them because they want something from you. But when the time you need the money and ask for their payment, that's the time you will become their worst enemies.
I think the best thing for us to do is just forget what we have done to them. Anyway, its our deeds that make us to become human and not them. We helped them, that's it. They don't remember what we did for them, its okay, at least in heaven that will be remember.
Though the Bible said that we should not expect favors or anything in return for our good deeds, we are but human not to feel so disgusted and sorry for helping them in times of need. You are right, ignore them and someday they might realise the wrong they had done to you!
The old lady is better. She deserves your help.
@SuperD, thanks for your inspiring words, I almost want to cry. You are right I have to forget them and just think God. They are not worth of worth to think about and exhaust my feeling for them.
@acelawrites, hi friend thanks for your inspiring words. From now on I have to ignore tham and never anynore think about their faces and ugly attitudes. Time comes they will remember me and their feeling will suck them.
So you learned your lesson now in who to help.
The two ones are ingrates. They didn't even remember to give you something when they first received their salaries from the university where you referred them.
Wow, imagine the other one is a relative and yet she didn't invite you on her wedding day.
And the other one, did not even thank you once he was taken in.
So you see, it is better to help people of no relation at all to you especially the old woman. So nice of her to always give you a gift on your birthdays. But how did she know your birth date, by the way?
@Dina, you are right friend, but God might have used me as the instrument for these insensitive people to survive.There are really humans like them. If only someone has helped me, rest assured, that person can say he or she never regret in helping me. But these two persons, do not have intestines hahaha. They will never be rich for God won't allow them to be this for they are like Judas.
What happens, after these experiences, is that you step back. You don't recommend anyone, you keep your mouth shut. I have been luckier than you. When I think about helping someone they often do the most horrendous things so that I can only give thanks that I didn't say anything.
@kaylar, We have different experiences. I cannot recommend for I forgot everything about them.Anyone can recommend to themselves.It is very easy to tell those people they are not worth of a help for they are inconsiderate.
