It may be a small thing to think that hunger for appreciation is just a small problem compared to poverty and death. But.. that "THING" is the only way that you can know that you are living right. That you aren't just a mere puppet doing jobs that is a recoil to our society. So how do you know that you're worth it? Not be because HE says, does anyone in your circle sees your effort? Or maybe he says he did but actually did care at all. Are you worth their time? Do they need you? Or your fame? money or connection? Sounds hurtful but true..
