I agree we have to be careful about letting the truism, "no good deed goes unpunished" become a mantra of sorts. Some of the "good deeds" from the past that I feel "punished"for, when I look back, I think I was trying to do something for somebody and maybe that wasn't my role. So I have learned to be more careful about my "good deeds". That doesn't mean I won't do any, I hope I'll do plenty. I just have to be careful and especially never do anything because I want to be thanked. I am sure some good deeds will still be "punished." But all I am really concerned about is my lifetime "permanent record." God, or a Higher power and I know what I am about. It's not important that anyone else appreciate me, except ME!
