It was a talk in the car, where one particular topic was brought up. Very often, we find people demanding in variety of areas, be it between the couple, friends and family or even among strangers. Perhaps we are being ignorant when it comes to our own attitudes, or maybe, we do not notice the fact that we are not as perfect as we think we are. From time to time we hear people saying sentences like, “I want you to smile,” “You should respect me because I am older,” “I didn’t expect him to do such a thing,” where some may be pissed and some feeling happy as the incidents occur, varying from one to another. Such demands or perhaps in another word, the requests are sometimes from the bottom of the heart when we truly mean it, does not matter whether it is in a good way, or bad way. This is how it usually goes; when we care for one particular person, we would ask for more, even if it seems to be ridiculous and harsh, as long as it does him good. On the other hand, the level of demands is sometimes proportional to the price we are paying, or even the prize we would be getting. Say, when we pay a certain amount of money, we demand for higher quality and also the quantity, if possible; as we spend our time and other ‘materials’ needed in order to get our hands on one particular item or person, we expect to earn something in return for the very least. A friend asked, “Aren’t we demanding?” Yes we are, in a way.
