No Acknowledgement Please?

You know the syndrome. Some people don't want to receive attention, acknowledgement, or praise. Others don't want to receive charity, generosity, or support. In fact, some reject it. Yet one needs, I think, to broaden one's view. It's not all about what you want. It's also about the people who derive great pleasure from honouring you, or are glad to be able to show you some generosity. Perhaps it's their moment where they feel that they can give something back. OBSERVATION: For instance, I attended a birthday celebration recently. The "birthday child" might rather have died than receive all that attention. But it wasn't only about the birthday child. It was about everyone in that room. This particular birthday child, I think, understood that.
