It is very disheartening to do my best to be kind and to try to help others when it is seen by most as a weakness, often it is thrown back in my face even by the people I have helped.
Will I ever stop trying to help others? I doubt it, so I guess I just have to live with all the bad people as best I can.

I have had the same thoughts and feelings and I came to the conclusion that I couldn't control anyones behaviour or true nature with my actions. I came to the conclusion and still working on the notion that you shouldn't do the right thing, or be a good person in hope you will get the same in return. I now try and feel good from just being the best person I can be with no expectation of gaining what I want from other people. I am trying to learn being 'good' brings its own rewards in knowing I am making a contribution to society in its battle of good vs evil.
