Summary

This quote suggests that people tend to respond to acts of kindness in a less than appreciative manner. While individuals may express their gratitude for small favors and acknowledge medium ones, they often fail to reciprocate greater acts of kindness with the same level of gratitude. It highlights a tendency to take for granted the more significant gestures of generosity and the lack of recognition or repayment for them.
