When all's said and done

it's always easy for someone who's not been through thick and thin with you to say you got it easy. I get annoyed with people who tell me that I've got it easy and even more annoyed with people who tell me that since I got it easy and they didn't, then I should be obligated to help them or give them things that they ask for. To me, gifts should come deep down from your heart. And if I were to give something to a person, I will never expect something in return. You've not seen the hard work I put in, the job stress and the indirect home stress that comes with it, the tiring study schedule of 2 units per semester I put in on top of my full-time job, therefore, no one has the right to say I've got it easy.
