Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars want to remind you that most people will give you the easy way out. People are generally kind, and considerate, and want others to be happy. That's not a problem, as long as it's reciprocal.
It's also best to keep in mind that, like all things, that there are other motivations in play.
Some people give you the easy way out because they are insecure, and feel like being subservient or docile will give them more of a hold over you. Either out of pity, or because you feel indebted to them, or guilt. The problem is, people get used to those roles, and the givers give too much all the time, and the takers learn how easy it gets to take.
Sometimes when people give you the easy way out, it is a test. A test we fail, over and over again. They give us the easy way out to see if we care enough about them to not take it. When we do, it let's them down just a little bit more, and erodes their trust and confidence. This also gets easier and easier over time.
Either way, chances are that it will only cause bitterness and resentment. Eventually, taking the easy way out will get you out completely. You will find that the people you counted on to put your feelings and happiness before theirs are gone.
The stars need you understand that like all things in life, there is no easy way. You need to give as well as you get. You need to make the extra effort to understand what people need, and what they want you to do regardless of what they say they want you to do. It's not that hard. In fact, you probably know what the right thing to do is, but you just take the easy way out instead.
