Ok here's the deal.
I'm a nice bloke.. I'm biased of course but i mean the little things. I hold open doors for people, dont spit in the street and say 'please' and 'thank you'.
I'm sure lots of you reading this are just like me. Even if it is seldom we meet. Well guys.. I'm getting fed up of it. While growing up i was led to believe there would be some pay-off for this good behaviour. That if i was nice to people: they would be nice to me. Of course that's not the case.
Basically being "nice" isn't worth jack. No one thanks you for it. No one appreciates it. And Karma does NOT exist.
Alot of things make up this view I have. But i'll keep it short.
So i want to know.. How do you guys cope when the injustice gets to you?
When you've gone out your way your entire life.. been generous, caring, sympathetic, apologetic and took all responsibility for your actions.... and then someone pushes in the queu ahead of you?
I'm running out of ideas that don't include fists.

I know. You're brought up to believe that if you're a good person then good things will happen and you'll have lots of friends, be successful etc etc. And it's not true at all. (I'm not a guy, but I think it's the same for everyone!)

Hehe. I know exactly what you mean. I'm quite pure of heart, in that I would never do something to harm or put someone else at a disadvantage.
I don't get anything for it. I've given up on the ideaology of karma. Or at least the basic premise of it...it only exists as a method of punishment from what I've seen, but then again it's very rarely ever worked in the past and I take it as just simple coincidence.
I'm still going to stay nice. It's not "Hard" for me or anything, but I do think it to be very harsh that being kind reaps no real rewards. Oh well.

till he is going to develop right into a catholic it ought to no longer artwork out. If he's already having intercourse he ought to no longer choose for to attend till finally his married to have extra intercourse. you won't be in a position to rigidity somebody to alter their ideals. How could you react if he advised you to offload your catholic faith? besides what the killer would be for the relationship is once you're taking a non catholic to make certain your priest for marriage approval. As a non-catholic he would be required to vow his destiny toddlers to the catholic church. that maybe too a lot for somebody with completely diverse ideals to swallow besides it comes all the way down to how complete-on you're as a catholic. while you're present day catholic you need to do each and all of the undesirable issues and in simple terms bypass to confession a week and each little thing would be made nice returned.

Well you gotta be nice, but theres a fine line between being nice and being lazy/not sticking up for yourself. If u do stuff to be nice then that is good and trust me u will get what you've got coming to you (good stuff, and if u get married it is a big plus being nice). But if you are just being nice because you are a doormat then u wont get much good stuff...

I guess I know what I'm doing is the right thing to do, so it makes me feel good, even if unappreciated by some. Keep up the good guy program, and best to you!

It is true that nice guys finish last. All you can do is lead by example. I have no comfort to offer, except to say "I feel for you brother."
