God, why do I bother trying to help you? It’s not like you appreciate it. It’s not like the word ‘thanks’ is in your vocabulary. It’s like you’re not capable of being nice to someone you decided to despise when you were six-years-old. Sure, about twelve years have passed, but what’s time compared to your rock-headed mind? - Tran Krista Alasti
About This Quote

In the movie "Memento," there is a scene where the main character, Leonard Shelby, is having a conversation with his ex-girlfriend. He says: "God, why do I bother trying to help you? It's not like you appreciate it. It's not like the word 'thanks' is in your vocabulary. It's like you're not capable of being nice to someone you decided to despise when you were six-years-old.

Sure, about twelve years have passed, but what's time compared to your rock-headed mind." This quote from from Memento shows two very important points that are rarely seen in society today: time and patience. These things take ages to develop and grow. In today’s world we are always in a hurry and we have become so impatient that we have lost all sense of how long it takes for things to happen.

We rush from one thing to another without giving it much thought. We don’t stop and think about why things happen the way they do or how people who were much worse off than us have been able to survive for so many years after being abandoned by everyone around them.
