the other day i was driving out of the grocery store parking lot. when i turned out of my spot: there was a cart that rolled down to the middle of the aisle near the sewer grate i had to avoid.

I saw this older fella was walking out of his way to go collect and bring it back to a corral or storefront: so I rolled my window down and as I maneuvered around him I hollared "you're awesome! thanks for collecting that!" and his mouth turned into this cheesy proud grin

remember: you shouldn't do things BECAUSE you expect a reward. that defeats the purpose of doing it for "good" in the first place. But this guy was already going out of his way to help and so he totally deserved to be recognized!

Yes, certainly.

If you are inherently kind hearted there will come a point when someone will abuse it. Or if you are like me you essentially just feel like a door mat because people just walk right over you, or at the very least try to.

No thanks, I don't trust people who think there are good people and bad people, because they always group themselves with the good people. Worst crimes in history are committed by people who were convinced they were one of the good ones.

I was good until someone vandalised my mirror by writing all over it.

I personally believe most people are good people. But most have their own reasons for what they do even a thief may not want to steal but is driven to steal or die

I’m already the reason why we have certain rules. I don’t think I can be both

Never forget. At least one person has masturbated while thinking of you:)

Tell that one to my granddad. I remember being like 5 and watching Aladdin, and after Aladin stole an apple or some shit at the beginning of the movie my granddad acted like he was the villain the rest of the movie, like yelling at Jasmine not to "get on the rug with that dirty theif"

I had a single guy change literally my entire life for me when I was like 12 out of a massive act of generosity that came from a total chance encounter... Like I would genuinely be in an entirely different and much worse place 20 years later had that chance encounter not happened... I will never stop looking for it to be my time to pay that one forward

The basis of this is pretty bleak when you think about it. This quote, or whatever it is, assumes that a plurality of people have a very tenuous grip on their faith in humanity if they have one at all.

There is no such thing as a good or bad person. Everyone is capable of carrying out actions they believe are good. And everyone knowingly and willingly perform what is precieved to be bad actions. Sometimes in both cases the actions don't do align with the intentions.

It took me a long time to learn how to be assertive without sounding aggressive. Because I like to keep my resentments to myself, when I finally speak up, it typically comes out a little more intensely than planned. Learn to set boundaries early and hold people to those boundaries. I promise it is possible.

I have been that person for 20+ years and I’m tired. Someone else’s turn

I was very depressed one night and went to a fruits store. I bought some oranges. After I paid for them the seller said to me that that orange has a bad mark on it, change it with another one. I changed one with another and he said but that's a smaller one, don't I owe you? He also gave me the one that had marked and said, at least use this one as well. A subtle smile came on my face and I realized my mood changed dramatically. We all need these people.
