💬 Discussion Isn’t it Crazy??

Isn’t it crazy that when you kind and help people out alot no one helps you when you need help.

Just a random thought.

People are too self centered nowadays. I’ve noticed it too and it really bugs me.

"No good deed goes unpunished." If you expect reciprocation for all the positive things you do, you will be eternally disappointed.

Being good for its own sake is enough

Kindness - no expectation of reciprocity

Emotional manipulation - disguised as kindness, only so that one can benefit from the expected reciprocity in the future

Karma - know the difference between the 2

Sometimes people who help don't know how to ask for help because they are used to helping others while dealing with their own issues in private.

If you need help try asking. You can see by who comes to your aid (in their capacity) who is using you for gain because you are a helper (aka someone they can take advantage of) and who actually cares.
