I think I have wasted my life trying to help people. Even when I try, it gets thrown back in my face. Probably not going to do it much longer.
Helping others is good karma, so may I present to you, "The Paradoxical Commandments." 01: People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. 02: If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. 03: If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. 04: The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. 05: Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway. 06: The biggest men with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men with the smallest minds. Think big anyway. 07: People favor underdogs, but follow only top dogs. Fight for a few underdogs anyway. 08: What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. 09: People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. 10: Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway. - JGabbard (talk) 16:45, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
- No point.
- No point.
- Will do, but clearly not by following the other ones.
- No point.
- May do, may not do. Kind of depends how much I hate the person I'm being honest and frank about. I'm learning to hate more.
- That one's not even trying.
- Uh?
- Sod that.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, NO.
- Screw the world.
