When They Eat Your Food

The reality of life is not God but hunger… Swami ji.

I usually atleast in my own inner eyes call myself a very magnanimous, giving and large hearted giving person.

But occasions , incedents, situations and certain moment keep telling me how much more work to be done on the greed and resentment i still have.

Since I have been the more talkative, confidennt and more socially amicable one since I got engaged 23 years back,it’s my duty, responsibility and a family tradition to order and bring food at food joints,parties or functions where there is self service and i do it with most enthusiasm and excitement.

But soon this bouncing inflated ball of my ego gets defused when after ordering, serving these tempting dishes and delicacies,i come back to see the family almost 34/th finishing the food .

It’s against manners to not help in self serving yourself or not waiting for the one making an effort but their no self control and non realisation maybe makes them so insensitive.

I have tried to talk this lovingly with them at times but they get aggitated saying now u ll become like those agressive women who want equal rights?

I try to keep my cool and have an attitude of a loving mother with a 2 year old hungry,greedy toddler but most times i do get mood swings,anger and irritation in this specially when in half of my meal they again demand me to get some beverage or repeat some food item.

Os.me family please give me suggestions to overcome this not as positive attitude and approach of mine.
