That was when i realized that true support/kindness MAY NOT be reciprocated by the benefactors.
It is a good lesson to learn from the experience of another person; I am sure that the person in discussion also learned from this experience because it a common human nature to openly receive good or help when in need but reluctant to offer same when it is required of them.
from your topic @Sandra_hakeem, I do not think this experience is only special to gambling where support may not be reciprocated by benefactors, it applies everywhere.
