President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, rather ask what you can do for your country."

We can ask what we can do for others, rather than ask what others can do for us.

But, it's like that saying, "It's better to give than receive ...so, you give (to me)."

Yet, if we all had the same attitude of being happy for others, we would more often gratefully saying thanks, but no thanks. We wouldn't want to take from others.  

Of course, we shouldn't be so prideful that we don't accept any gifts or charity ...being stubborn to the extreme. But, on occasion I've seen people protesting ...almost demanding to be given more, when many of them had things that I don't have.

Like I said before, it seems that many who have what others around the world don't have ...are the ones who protest all the more.

Many of us want sympathy, instead of symphony.
