I give light to a family of 7, but not once have they ever thanked me. They never will, nobody talks to chandeliers. I wish they did. Every day, I wonder if I should tell them. Should I let them know I have feelings too? Should I get revenge? After all, nobody ever acknowledges me. Nobody ever cares.

But then I realized something. While they never thank me, they don’t need another problem in life. They don’t listen to me, but I listen to them. Why should I be mean to them? I enjoy my job. I decided to treat others the way I want to be treated, even if I’ll never be treated that way.
