yes you should..i believe in the golden rule, call it karma, call it what you will. you should not return an evil for another evil..its biblical. just do the right thing..i think you know you should. just do it without expectations,because you in your heart want to be the better person. i myself have done this and its a blessing because you can really humble a person by doing good when they even know they dont deserve it.
its just amazing to make an impact like that..but all in all, do it because its the right thing to do,not to get a reaction from the person.

If someone has done you wrong, you have no obligation to do anything nice for them. Sure, it may seem like doing something nice is the right thing to do, but it may back fire on you...making you seem desperate to try to prove how "good" you are when really you don't owe that person anything. And what will you gain by "proving" your goodness? It won't change the fact that you were wronged.

Do good for them even if they've done wrong to you. I have done this plenty times and have realized that it actually works. When you do good to a wrong doer, it shows that you are a btter person and that you are NOT like them. Some people treat people wrong out of spite and enjoy seeing that their actions are getting to the person. Next, that person will see that you really dont give a damn about how they act towards you and you are not on their level...you are actually HIGHER.

I did make ammends.. To my mother for taking in my ex husband after he tried to kill me. After he served 45 days in jail and I left 45 miles north of the only town I knew with my three young boys, my mother let my ex husband live with her for 18 months. I didn't talk to her for five years nor let her know where I was. My ex died five years ago and I just began making ammends about 4 1/2 years ago after my mom had a severe heart attack. Today we are not as close as we once were but we talk once a week and unfortunatly I moved furthur away (new hubby bought a house on land) I see her at least 4 times a year.

Yes. If you let someone else's actions dictate your own, you are letting the other person have control over what you do. If you are asking the question, then you have probably already know what you want to do. If you return kindness for cruelty, you may make the other person stop to think about what they have done to you. Just don't let them use you if their bad attitude continues. Good Luck!

Yes, why not? If they have done something wrong, you don't have to be that way back to them. Treat others as you would like to be treated! They may change by you doing something nice for them.

Yes because what goes around comes around and the more nice things you do for people the better life will be for you. For those who do bad all the time... well, they have something coming to them!

Depends on who. The idiot stick figure who stole my boyfriend? Not ever. She's probably the only person I wouldn't, though. Though I'd still help her if it was life or death.
That's basically it, though. She's probably the only person I wouldn't.

Yes. My mom has always told me to kill them with kindness. Even if they dont apprciate it. It makes you feel better knowing you did somehting nice for them. So do it!

Yes. Just because it's nice to be nice.
