Sometimes, no matter how nice you are, how kind you are, how caring you are, how loving you are, it just isn’t enough for some people.
We can use money to satisfy material greed. But for those who are so greedy about the soul and affection, what do we use to respond?
There are some people, if you treat them well and care for them for a long time without any demands, they will think that it is your responsibility to do it. They are confident that no matter how badly they treat you, you will still be with them, still loving them.
Such people only have the habit of receiving without thinking of giving. They often don’t care about the other person’s feelings and just like to do everything they want. Those who are greedy for love live on the feelings of others and disrespect for their neighbor.
Another common thing about this type of person is that he cannot stand the shock of betrayal. They have poor resistance to those who still love themselves apart and love another person.
However, if the relationship is healed, they will blame the opponent completely, and the level of pampering will be higher and higher. Don’t expect a greedy person to understand and appreciate your unconditional kindness. That is also the reason that all the free things in life are limited.
