Not What You Think It Means
Life owes us nothing.
We can live a life in pursuit of getting something, expecting to get rewards simply for being born. Or because of a false belief that we deserve something. Many people spend their life this way and some find happiness.
The alternative is to live a life in pursuit of giving. Our effort, our time, our love, the very best of ourselves. The key is to do it without the expectation of receiving a reward because the facts of life, the reality is that this is an ungrateful world with just a handful of people pursuing a virtuous life.
Increase the giving from ourselves and decrease the expectation from others.
