Does kindness pay back? It's hard to tell but out of the experience, years of experience I can only say it does not. The main problem kind people, really kind people deal with is that they are attractive to abusers, manipulative, lazy people. People who fill their pockets on your account and do not ask themselves one single minute if you can miss it, how you will survive.
For the biggest part of my life, I was surrounded by these kinds of people. Family, friends, strangers, there was no exception if it came to their behavior. Some rich, others poor but they all had the same lifestyle and attitude. They made others work and pay for them those parasites of society. The only thing they are good at is playing the pathetic role of the pitiful while they abused goodness, Christianity, the name of God and Allah whenever it fitted them.
Just like the Jews, Mormons, the Christians learned. You do not make friends with generosity, sharing your house, love, money, sharing with the poor. It's only good for attracting scammers who will not respect you but rob you without a feeling guilty for a minute.
How come you are not making friends if you help someone out?
Most likely because the helping hand is a threat as well. The poor man who becomes rich forgets about the one who gave him a hand, might even fight him, see him as dangerous if he cannot ignore that person.
I helped more people than anyone can imagine. I gave literally away everything I had and stayed behind with high debts of others and... with me and my children suffering from it, sitting literally in the cold, being hungry. I still pay a high price for those kindnesses. Being beaten up with a holy book didn't make a good person out of me, nor a good parent or friend. Those Bible phrases are tricky and not helpful to those who are in need. I doubt you will find many Christians with us you can manipulate with these phrases, willing to open the door if you knock.
A Random Act of Kindness?
I still do them daily like taking the time to read, comment, and give tips to writers on this platform. Although I do not see any point in boosting my content I just boosted someone else's plus I asked some readers to join me in reading and commenting good articles that are hardly read. I help out those who are close to me which are mainly my family and some people I met. I listen to them, talk to them, give them what I earn away. I no longer send parcels with items and food abroad because the costs are too high and half of it is stolen out of it. By now it's time for me. To do a random act of kindness to me instead because I do believe I am the one who deserves it most of all, since no one else cares about me, how I am doing and if I will be still around next year.
Are you kind at times, do a random act of kindness? Personally, I find "small gestures" a sign of being raised well, being polite or it is simply a way of how we treat each other. What do you think?
Wonderful information
