Ang Hindi Pinaghirapan, Hindi Pinanghihinayangan
(Taken from Hannah Carmela Neri's Blog Dated Aug 2009... just giving credit where its due)
Have you ever felt unappreciated/ underappreciated by a person (let's say, a lover, a close friend, a co-worker, or your boss?)
Have you ever felt like you've given too much...been the best (insert "role" here)- and yet you were rejected, demeaned, abandoned?
Have you become so bitter about unrequited love/ overlooked accomplishments? Maybe you've felt like you gave "too much of yourself", played the martyr, been the altruist. Perhaps we've hated people who didn't love us the way they "should".
Don't you think that perhaps.... you've "shared too much of yourself"?
Are you always available? Always there at every beck and call? Always willing to give everything to that person? Why can't that person appreciate or love you for what you do for them?
Anything in oversupply loses its value.
Anything that is always available, and available in oversupply, even if it is good, loses its value. It is not helpful to have too much, even of a good thing.
An old Tagalog proverb says, "Ang hindi pinaghirapan, hindi pinanghihinayangan."
When a good thing could be had easily, it is not treasured. What you get without much sacrifice, is not given much value. It is often advisable to let others work and even pay, for the privileges you extend to them.
"He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry, even the bitter tastes sweet." (Proverbs 27:7)
