There was a merchant who was known to be kind and often gave assistance to relatives or friends who came to ask him for help.

One day, the merchant was having a hard time, as if he was facing a dead end and felt he needed someone else's help.

So he went to friends and relatives whom he had helped in the past. But apparently, none of them were moved to help.

Even when he talked about the problems he was facing, they tended to be ignorant, did not care, and thought it was none of their business.

When he got home, the merchant felt devastated, disappointed and angry. He could not stop thinking, how those who used to whine for help, and have been helped, are truly ungrateful and grateful.

When he was in trouble and needed help, they treated him like that. And the more he thought about it, the more disappointed and angry he was.

This situation bothered him so much, he had trouble sleeping, got angry easily, and couldn't think clearly.

After days of the merchant living that unhappy life, he decided to go to the wise man.

After hearing the merchant's complaint, the wise man said, “Young man, I know that you are a good person, you like to help others, but now your kindness is bad. You feel unhappy, disappointed, and angry. How come?"

According to uncle, first, you have misjudged other people. Your hope is that the person you have helped will return the favor, and the reality is not so, so the one who is wrong is you.

Second, if you want to be rewarded for your help, when helping, you should teach them how to be grateful.

Third, if you don't want to be disappointed by others, then give help without hope for anything in return. Because of the good deeds that you have done, do not lose their meaning and be littered with a desire to be repaid, which if not accomplished, will cause disappointment, anger, and then hatred in your heart.
