No Good Deed

Posted in Thoughts

Well as they say no good deed goes unpunnished and I do find that to be true. Though I am not in genreal the kind of person who goes around doing good deeds for people normaly I could careless, unless it is someone whom I know, but the rest of the world can figure itself out as far as I am concerned, but every now and then when I am struck in the right mood I will be compleled to do a random good deed for a person I do not know, now I will not go out of my way to do it, but if oppertunity prestents itself and just the right time then I will do it. And the way I see it, I like to keep my karma balanced do something good here and there to give myself liscense to be mean the rest of the time.

 

So I was just comming out of the store when this woman came up to me and asked if she could have some change to get something to eat because she was really hungery and well normally I never ever give money to anyone, but well when the planets are aligned right, so I figured what the hell I can give her some money it will not kill me, and she seemed genuinely grateful so that was that. Well then the other day I was on my way home from getting something to eat and I saw her again and she came up to me and was going on about how this guy just beat her up, and she did have some brusies and such on her and she was depressed and could she just have a dollar, so this time a bit begrudgingly I said fine and just gave it to her.

 

But that is it, now she is starting to annoy me and make me regret having ever helped her in the first place, and that is not a place a person wants to be. I am done with her. She is not going to get another thing out of me again if she asks next time I happen to see her again becasue I have no obligation to her, and and when someone is not ordiernarly nice does something nice, you do not want to overstay your weclome, because I will snap into bitch mode. If she had stayed on my good side I might have been inclined to be generous in the future, but if she pisses me off and abuses my rare momenet of doing something nice and reminds of why I don't do nice things then I will not help her with anything again. I do not care if I see her house being broken into, I will just keep walking.

 

When it comes to dealing with strangers for me, the line between mercy and ruthlessness if very thin.
