One of the things that I have learned in life is that you should never hurt people who support you and care for you. It's good to be kind to those who hate you but always be kind to those who help you. A lot of us out there take people who care for them like replaceable objects. They only realize how important they are when they are no longer there and the love that they have given is gone. When I hear the song "Long Train Running" by The Doobie Brothers, it reminds me of this important lesson.
It's ironic that we take for granted those who have helped us through our bad days and it's even worse when treat them like dirt. There was a time when I did take someone for granted and now that that person is gone, not a day goes by that I don't miss that person or regret that I should have done something in return. People who stand by us through good and bad are one of the best gifts that the Almighty would ever give to a person because people like that are gems among rocks who stand out from all the fakes for their honest compassion. We often forget that people like this are among the reasons why we get as far as we have in life. When we abuse their kindness and treat them poorly, it is probably the worst thing that a person can give in return and mind you there are consequences to such terrible behavior.
It is sad that such people are treated that way after all that they have done for others. We should never ignore or scoff at the way they stand by us because such devotion is now becoming a rare quality. Especially now when most people only care about themselves. It is through their love that we have got by which is why we should never treat them like trash. They helped us when nobody else would so take good care of them as they have taken care of you. And if you do take them for granted, just think where would you be now without their love and think hard.
