Cost of Consideration

Artist: Unknown

Consideration costs nothing. 

Consideration is invaluable, priceless even... Makes me wonder why people don't lead with it at all times. 
I wonder if that's where the statement, "Mind your business" came from.

But being considerate isn't being nosey or inserting yourself into people's lives when you were not invited to do so. The type of consideration that I am thinking of is like calling to see how someone's day is going.  Bringing flowers for your lady or taking lunch to your man.

What leads me to ponder this is when people consistently celebrate life's peaks without you and then reach out to you when they are experiencing the pits of life... 

Like, what makes someone initiate contact with you when times are hard and they never consider you when times are good?  Perhaps they do think of you. 
Perhaps they considered you and decided, with consideration, that you would not like to be invited to share their joy.
