Moments of joy and denial

There are moments in life, when you know that you've really made someone's life a little more special. If you're lucky they can acknowledge that you've touched them. There is no feeling like it, because it absolutely beats the moment when someone has the chance to recognize your contributions but can't.

They look within themselves for the words but can only see themselves. They can only see how your contributions make them look, a measurement of themselves. So in order to sustain their own self image, they are forced to either ignore you or carefully choose just the right words to diminish your contributions. What's worse is when  you recognize what they are doing.
