No matter how well you present yourself to people, it will never change anyone. A bad person is always a bad person, and no matter how well they try to camouflage, it always shows at some point later. The mask falls off, or gets worn from the heat of the face of the wearer. Perhaps that’s the reason why so many people don’t trust a stranger easily.
People are so much used to a messed up world that doing any small favours for someone will get them to instantly question your motives. Nobody trusts no one. And if you do good consistently to someone for a long while, they give themselves some sense of entitlement to the particular good you are doing them. They start feeling like they deserve it, and if for some reason you stop doing it, they will get mad at you and crucify you for that.
Being good will constantly get you used, battered and dumped because people are so much into a shitty society that goodness is a sign of weakness. Gone are the days when a simple good would attract a simple thank you.
Nowadays you will do some good to someone, and they will be so overwhelmed by it, that they will start feeling like they owe you a similar favour. Saying no to the payback will leave the person believing you are indeed a god or goddess on Earth. It is the world we live in. Very broken and with absolutely no hopes of ever being fixed again.
Some people already know that doing you some good will get you to feel like you owe them something, and will use every kind of favour to get you to do them whatever they want you to. Guys are out here buying girls goodies, and getting goodies in exchange from the girls. The girls don’t feel ashamed because they feel like they owe the guy the goodie. Talk about modern day barter trade. It is the very reason why we are living in the age of sugarmummies and sugardaddies.
Perhaps it’s time we stopped being good to avoid being used and started doing good instead. Perhaps doing is better than being.
