as in if you do a good deed does it come back to you?

No, no good deed is undone when you have done something nice for someone you will be rewarded for it later in life. For example: I knew someone that gave a crate of tomatoes to someone that could not afford it in the 50's. His counterparts yelled at him not to do that ferociously he still did that anyway then later when he had Cancer the person in the hospital recognized his last name and asked he and his wife "weren't you the one that gave me the crate of tomatoes in the fifties while your counterparts screamed at you?" with the reputation the counterparts had (a very bad one) his wife was thinking oh jeesh not another person that knows this family. Turned out to be a good thing because since this kind man had done this good deed he was helped tremendously while suffering with cancer. Such as services with visiting nurses all the things he could not aford. So NO good deed goes unnoticed just time for something to return it with.
Anyone that tries to bash this will be reported because it is a true story about my late father.

Yes, I believe in the philosophy of "Pay It Forward." If more people would believe in this, the world would be a much better place in which to live.
The quotation goes: No good deed goes unpunished.
No, I do not believe in this one.

Yes, get this, it's hilarious. Today my roomies made me feel really uncomfortable about having to leave the comfort of my room because they had very ill-mannered guests over (not to mention they are very filthy and dirty themselves), and what happens is that the toilet ends up blocked right when one of them has to use it! I had a good laugh. Or there are other instances when you have your key but your roomie doesn't and she's standing out in the rain, and you tell her you can't make it because you are in class or taking an exam. That in of itself, is karma showing how she's a B***H.
G'luck. Keep doing good things, the person upbove is watching and will take note, and you will end up living life smoothly.

I believe that doing a good deed is it's own reward.
Life is full of enough unkind deeds, so if I make even one dent in that , that's enough reward for me.

No. That would be unrealistic. There is also lots of gray area between what you think vs what I think is a good deed.

I don't believe it, but I still believe in performing good deeds. We don't do good to receive good. We do good because it is ~right~.

I believe that when you do something nice for someone or help someone- that it will come back to you. It may not be anytime soon, but yes, I believe that it will most definitely come back to you. ESPECIALLY when you do something and expect NOTHING in return.
