YES< it is like the story of the animal that carries a scorpion on its back across the river only to have the thankless scorpion sting him in the end.

There is not a person alive who hasn't been hurt or disappointed by someone whom they loved and cherished. It is a sad awakening...especially when nothing but good has been done for the other. I understand these sentiments well.

You are right! We understand something in the degree we have experienced it so all of us, under different circumstances, have felt the pain and ingratitude of others. Thank you for your kind visit and comment!

There are too many people out there that would pull others down for trying to help, actually I am going through an event right now that is pulling me down, your poem is real, and I like it very much :)

Many will pull you down to their level to make themselves feel good and then step on you trying to rise above you. I have a "friend" who did this to me. I tried to pull him up and steer him in the right direction but all he wanted to do was belittle me and try to bring me down to his.

Sometimes it happens, especially if the person is no longer in control of the situation...one is dragged down with them. Good morning sire! hugs

Sometimes people although they ask for one's help, after getting it they try to hurt the one who had helped them in the first place. Socrates, 469-399 BC, my ancestor, comes to mind when he said: " No enemy is more certain than the one you have benefitted" Thank you dear Kim!
