So many sayings...
"Nice guys finish last"....
"Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you"...
"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"...
Pay it forward...
Help one another...
Then ask "What is the definition of insanity?" To which I do know the answer. To do something over and over and expect a different result.
Does that apply to life in the manner of this?
Helping others, being kind, supportive, understanding. Going out of my way to help friends, co-workers, bosses...even strangers so they can benefit, profit, or whatever the situation calls for. Being selfless. I keep doing this....I bend over backwards as the saying goes just to help...and the result is repeating itself. I end up broken, hurt, accused/blamed, discarded and left to feel like I was the one in the wrong even when I KNOW I'm not. I can prove my "innocence" so to speak. Why should I have to if I am the one not doing wrong? I was the one going out on a limb to help. Or in the cases there is no "proof" only word against word and you know you're not the one lying? Doesn't that leave only the other person to be the one lying? How does that get proven?
Wait for Karma?
That limb broke. Does that make me insane to continue to treat people nicely?
Is this what makes people bitter? The continual treatment from those who feel they are superior or entitled?
I swear I wish I was only submissive in the bedroom at times. I think being nice is taking it's toll on me. |
