I guess, a lot of the time, the people close to us hurt us without meaning to. And sometimes it is not their actions (or lack of it) that hurts us, but our own expectations of them that cause us grief. Many times, in many great and little ways, the people around us do things for us. Yet we still get upset with them because of the things that they didn't do. But maybe, when we weigh the things they do against the things that they don't, we'll discover that we cannot hold it against them for not doing so little, when they've already done so much.
