"You'll end up disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same heart as you."
It's a lesson many of us learn through quiet heartache: the inherent disappointment that can arise when we expect others to reciprocate our efforts, our kindness, or our loyalty in equal measure.
You'll often end up disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them. This isn't a cynical view of humanity, but a grounded recognition of a complex truth. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same heart as you. Not everyone operates with the same level of generosity, integrity, or emotional capacity.
Accepting this distinction isn't about becoming jaded; it's about wisdom. It allows you to give freely from your own spirit, not out of an expectation for return, but from your authentic self.
This way, the kindness you offer remains pure, and you protect your own heart from the pain of unfulfilled hopes, truly appreciating those rare and precious individuals whose hearts genuinely mirror your own.
