Give and Take

A good reason to never want anything from anyone or to take all appreciation from the "gift". People give, because they say they want to. It makes them happy. They do it, because they love or care about you, but in truth it's just another noose waiting to hang you. People expect things back for what they give and whether or not they take it from your gratitude or your blood and tears doesn't really seem to make a difference as long as they have that leverage. Its just one more thing to throw back in your face at the end of it all and one more reason to make cynics out of believers.
