Pay It Forward

When people say: I don't owe you anything. No one owes anyone anything.

I beg to differ. We all do. We all owe the universe an obligation, a sacrifice, a selfless act of kindness. We owe humanity that promise to pay it forward. Someone paid it forward enough to afford you the opportunity to live this privileged life, so your duty is to keep that positive energy going by paying it forward. Let's stop living selfishly but selflessly in order to pay back humanity for the freedoms that we now enjoy.

To conclude, no one owes anyone anything but we just do. We do because we are humanity and we cannot exist in a vacuum. We cannot exist without respecting each other's rights and satisfying our obligations. Obligations that were rendered that even you, oh selfish one is accountable for. It is in that doing that we repay our debt to society. 

It's funny that people often make this statement when you ask of them the simplest of things. How petty our society has become? 

P.S. I wish I could hashtag all the people in my life who felt the need to tell me this. SMDH.
