Why do good people always get hurt.
The first question is, are the 'good' people sincerely good?
Yes they do good things, but is it sincerely to be good and do good things for the sake of doing good?
The person who donates a large amount of money to a charity, to have their name on a statue or plaque and get recognition is not doing charity sincerely, they are doing it for ego recognition, therefore, the good they do is not really good, even though it is a good thing.
Other 'good people' are often acting out of insecurity and just want to be liked, so they do 'good' things all the time for anyone because they need to be liked and acknowledged. They are weak and just need to be recognised, praised and accepted. Usually those people have low self-esteem.
Because they are weak and desperate for attention, and ready to do anything for anyone to get that attention, and because there are many people who are not very nice and take advantage of anyone they can, those types of people are easy targets.
Because the bad people know they can make you do anything, and you think the more you do, the more people will love you, you will keep doing good things and be abused and taken advantage of because you will do things for bad people who will feed off you.
The truth is, you are not doing anything for the sake of being good, you are doing it for a selfish reason, you actually do it because you want them to love you, so your motivation is wrong, and comes out of insecurity and weakness. People will always take advantage of you and you will always get hurt.
The basic test of this is, do you help anyone and everyone, or at least most people? Or, do you discriminate who you help to only help those who are good, sincere and really in need of help.
Discrimination in this sense, is wisdom.
A strong person who is sincere in helping will praise a child when they are good, and spank them when they are bad, because sometimes a spanking, or saying no, is actually what a person needs the most.
A truly good person gives what is needed most without regard to how they are rewarded or seen.
