Nothing good happens to me

I saved a dog from abuse. I bought food for the homeless.
I did lots of nice things for people, but nothing good happens to me.

Were you doing those things with an expectation of reward?

@LordShadowfire What do you think? Everybody does things for a reason unless that person is crazy. It would be like a carpenter swinging his hammer and banging everything without expectation of a result.

@sree251 So, OP wasn't doing those things out of the goodness of your heart, but in the hopes that someone would reward you. Good deeds done selfishly aren't good.

@LordShadowfire All our deeds are selfish except natural deeds of nature like the shining of the sun or the falling of rain.

@LordShadowfire Meh.. I don’t believe in true altruism either, but there’s a tremendous difference between someone being aware of self and effects on self when you attempt to do a positive thing vs. selfishness, which is a destructive disregard for others
