Supremacy or Popularity?

People, especially in Kuwait, always talks about the lack of gratitude of someone whom they have helped in their life. They have nothing but bitter stories to tell about how the beneficiary turned his back once he has got what he wanted.
I too have had my share of experiences. Why are people like this?
We need to understand two things. No man can ever forgive his protector. And there is no loathing a man harbours more intense than that towards his benefactor.
People dont like to be indebted to someone. It reminds them of an unsavoury past they are trying to forget.
It is the strong, intelligent, powerful and the rich who are always hated. If you are weak, you would not be hated. If you are poor you would not be hated. You are not hated despite your strength, intelligence, power or wealth; you are hated BECAUSE of your strength, intelligence, power and wealth. One can have supremacy or popularity, but never both.
