I've been let down this week.  Not just the typical let down of not getting what you want, but the let down of not getting what you deserve.  We all have been told there are bad things in the world, what they are, what to stay away from, we all know of those things, but what about how people treat each other?  What about the simple things?  What about buying or spending time with someone and them appreciating what you have done?  What about the younger generation, can they truly appreciate what you have done for them because of all they are given without them deserving any of it?  What about the old folks who think everyone is out to get them, even though you spend hours of your own personal time to help them?  Only to find them at your door stop calling out that you have done them wrong, because of their own inability to change.  I have been hurt recently, not just a little hurt, a lot hurt.  I am a good person, I do what is right, I spend a lot of time helping people and not asking for anything in return.  Is it too much to ask for a little appreciation, or even a thanks before the car door is slammed in your face, (this actually happened this week)?  I'm just a little hurt, crying inside, for myself, for the unappreciated.  I don't see things getting any better as time goes on, only worse.  I see myself changing, not sure I like the changes into this more selfish person.  But, what am I to do?
