RE: Does Kindness Make a Person a "Magnet" for the Users and Abusers of Life?

in #psychology8 years ago

It's absolutely true... But it doesn't matter. Doing the right thing is its own reward (I didn't make that up). What we are ultimately judged on is how we've lived our lives. It's better to be a target for users than a user. They too shall be judged.

is its own reward. However, boundaries come into play when someone keeps returning in expectation of "free favors." I like to give freely... but I draw the line at when I start feeling used.@richq11, I'm totally onboard with that... for me, doing the right thing

You're right... the way I see it, to keep giving to people who keep expecting it doesn't help either one of you. It's counterproductive and not really the right thing. Helping someone in need that wants to help themselves (and there's no shortage there) is fine. But not the same people over and over.
