Some people think that self satisfaction is that feeling you get when you impress people around you. They keep improving their image in front of others in all the ways that are possible; new clothes, new shoes, new cars, new apartments, new houses, lots of kids, international schools, travel all the time, anything and everything that would impress the people surrounding them.
Ever thought how that could be a bad thing?
Don't you see what you're doing to yourself?
When you raise someone's expectations, you're consequently increasing their disappointment.
How could a person ever be happy by making those around him feel less?
How do you think people close to you would feel after you disappoint them by not being able to fulfill their needs because you're too busy showing off to less important people?
Why not order your priorities?
There's an old saying that goes like, Whoever grew up on something grows old on it.
It's their nature now, no one can ever change that. No matter how much it hurts no matter what you do you'll eventually have to accept them for who they are and live with it.
People don't change. They are the same the only variable that changes is how better you got know them and that's probably why you'd think they've changed. Don't try to change a person's beliefs, apart from the fact that they won't, it's their right to choose how to think and how to manage their lives.
If a person's willing to change, it's for someone else. Someone they love, someone they care for. That's the only case where there's a possibility that someone would actually agree to flip all of their beliefs and their concepts and their principles in life. It's called sacrifice. It's called compromise. It's called love.
