Despite Being Good
I once read something, "You can never go wrong with kindness."
You can be doubtful, especially if you have been treated badly by others despite being good to them.
"Do I deserve this?" I know you already asked yourself this for once.
I know you have also reached the point where you just want to be like them - cruel... selfish... and unkind. But you won't, even you can. Uhh, wrong! You won't because you can't.
You cannot be like them. You cannot be as cruel as them, because if you will be - then you are going to be someone you are not. You cannot be as selfish as them, because if you will be - then you are just someone pretending to be someone else. You cannot be as unkind as them, because if you will be - then you are not YOU anymore.
Yes, you wish to be like them just because you got tired and want to alter your situation. You got tired being taken for granted. You got tired fixing things other people have broken.You got tired giving when others won't take. You got tired - so stop.
But stopping doesn't mean changing who you are. Stopping means you are ready to treat yourself better than before.
How would you do that? Give - but make sure you still have something left for yourself.
Keep being caring - give care as you do. Be selfless - only to the point of sacrificing something now for something better. Remain kind - share goodness even if you won't receive the exact same thing.
The world needs more people like you! You are rare, so don't lose yourself.
You are living in the reality but that doesn't mean you cannot do anything. The world is cruel, selfish, and unkind - only if you see it that way. I know you have gotten to your idealistic phase in life when you wish the world to be a better place, when you are so hyped that you can change the world, but I also know you have forgotten all your ideals as you live life and grow older - when you realize that you couldn't do anything major as you dreamt before. And this is where you fail Life.
Be good, even others are not. Save yourself first- and don't mistake it for being selfish. "You cannot pour from an empty cup." Remember this, that is crucial.
From being a skeptic to being an advocate - YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH KINDNESS.
There's nothing wrong with being good. In fact, that may be the best contribution we can give to the world. No matter how cruel, selfish, and unkind people are, be good. What they do reflects more about them, and speaks less of us.
You won't lose people for your goodness; people will lose you.
