The ungrateful ones

You know what amazes me is that there are so many people who take ideas from you and then show off to you and others as if they were theirs from the beginning... They take guidance from me and then after few days forget that they took it from me. Later when we discuss something, they say the same ideas to me and show off so proudly that they know it. "Hey, you know what? I had this problem and I tried this approach and I was successfully help myself out. You should also try it out. It's a great solution!"

Earlier I used to just think "Oh! so this person forgot that I only gave these thoughts and ideas to her and she forgot". Now-a-days in my mind I say, "Girl! You asked me for these ideas and suggestions few months back. Did you forget from whom you got those ideas that so proudly say are yours?" or "Hey! I only gave that suggestion". But I could say it only in one occasion, to only one person and then the person realised, "Oh right! You only gave the idea." And it made me feel worse. I thought, why did I say it aloud.

Their behaviours sure discourages me to share me knowledge with anyone.

I feel so disgusted at myself sometime. It's like I decide I am not gonna give them any help for their troubles. However, when they again start tell me about some other problem, I'm unable to resist helping them. 

My husband says, "You can never do that. You always say you are not going help these show offs any more, but then next time they will come again you won't be able to stop helping them. Later on they will forget that and show off to you that these kind of problems have these solutions. And you will again be upset and sad. All those sadness you will take out on Me." 

I just don't feel like talking to them. I wonder always how can people forget from whom they took the help and show off to the same person. 

Well, it's not that everyone does that. I have some really gentle ladies who still remember all the guidance then took from me and give proper credit to me. They say their thanks to my face and that surely makes me feel so happy.

Ah! I wish I could express myself properly, in cunning ways so people couldn't forget from whom the received those wise words.

hmm...

Anyways!
