Typically, I do my best to be a good person. Sure, I screw it up. I’m human. I’m not too concerned about aiming for perfection. But I really do make a solid effort to put others before myself – all the time.
Apparently, it doesn’t pay off.
I’ve been learning this a lot lately. A good friend of mine and I were talking recently about how she does her best to always do her best, help as often as possible, and be there for people, etc. “What goes around, comes around,” we decided. If you’re a bitch, probably people are going to be a bitch back.
What I have been learning, however, is this: if you are not a bitch, people just figure you’re ok on your own and you never need attention or help. Because you don’t demand others do things for you, expect people to do what you want when you want or what have you, you end up ignored and when you do actually have a need (or even just desire), it’s pushed to the bottom because the bitches have bitched long enough.
So fuck karma. Why should I be super-good to people just to get shoved aside when I actually need something?
you are good to people for the good feelings it gives you inside. Not to get something in return. All of us need to ask for help sometimes. Not everyone is as kind, caring, and giving as others are. Sometimes others just need a reminder that it is not all about them! Believe me, if you are always as giving as you say you are, it will be returned to you.

ReplyDeleteYou can put stock in warm and fuzzy feelings or the promise of a supernatural pat on the head that may or may not come when you die or you can re-evaluate what's around you. Look at who HAS been there for you (actually helped and not just stood on the sidelines shouting scripture at you) and leave everyone else behind. They're not worth the time of day.
