I'm sorry that thought occurred to you. When I help people, I help them because they need help. I don't expect thanks.

I once had a friend. She was upset because she donated clothes to the shul and nobody thanked her. I was gobsmacked. I would just have been pleased to get rid of the clothes. I don't require thanks from anybody for anything. If I give something, I don't regard it as mine any longer. If I help someone, I've forgotten about it 5 minutes later.
