In every village, there are individuals who nurture and shape young people. They do the shaping tirelessly and with a clean heart expecting no monetary reward. More often than not, the village and the general public end up believing that the selfless effort by such individuals in a responsibility bestowed upon them (the shapers) and it is the right of the public to be accorded such privileges of being shaped.
As young people, we often do not see the sacrifice such shapers and role models play until when we are grownups and maybe when these shapers are long gone. Sadly a majority of them pass on while very poor because their effort was never motivated by money. Unfortunately, no one makes an effort to nature and motivate the shapers’ children. A thankless job indeed!
