Appreciation

Had a chat with Daddy this morning, he was really depressed and disappointed with the issue facing by the Liew big family. Grandpa just passed away four years ago, and all the brothers and sisters starting to fight for their shares.
I thought this only happened in dramas, but I witnessed it on the other day. One of the sibling were shouted like a mad dog asking for appreciation for taking care of their father.
Appreciation is something that you EARNED for it.. and not something that you ASKED for it on what you've done.
You said you would rather die than taking care of him. Fuck you! I don't give a damn la whether you're my uncle or what.. just imagine your dad, my grandpa were there listening what you've said.. How would he felt? sigh~
It really scares me; Money is really a powerful beast.
I saw fine lines and wrinkles on dad's face. No more black and healthy hair but white and dry. Everything he does is for the sake of the big family but no one appreciate it. What they know is to wait for the money to reach their hand. sigh. I wonder will I be so materialistic when I've grown up? :(

4 years still in progress ? Should be without a will from your late grandpa?

Money is like water. Can provide us drinks yet can drown us as well.
Materialistic is not wrong, just have to do it the right way.

Moral of your story: Appreciation is definately earned, not ask for.
