People aren't going to give you what you want. They're probably not going to give you anything at all. In fact, they're going to take. They're going to take from you what they want. Which isn't going to be anything related to what you want, or anything you wanted them to take, much less anything you wanted to give. You start giving without even knowing, expecting maybe eventually they will give you what you want. You wait. And you keep giving. But soon you get tired of giving and you stop feeling kind or generous or extravagant. You just feel used. And so finally you take. Just once, you take what you want. Which isn't anything anyone else wanted, and probably not anything anyone wanted to give. But you wanted it and now you have it. They were never going to give it to you. You had to take it.
Now you know.
