Being a good person is wonderful, but it doesn't always lead to true happiness. Honestly, we all encounter moments when, despite our efforts and good intentions, things just don’t work out. Why?
Point 1: We all remember those times when we did something truly kind, and in return, we received not thanks, but complaints. Doesn’t that confuse you? Why be kind if people don’t appreciate it?
However, it’s important to understand that kindness won’t always be recognized and rewarded immediately. People might not notice or even ignore your efforts. But that doesn’t mean they’re not important.
Point 2: There are people who take your kindness for granted and start viewing it as something owed to them. But this is exactly what makes us feel undervalued. We spend our time and energy, and in return, we get coldness and indifference.
So why not slow down and start valuing yourself more? Why not learn to say "no" and expect the same respect in return?
Point 3: Being a good person is important, but it’s equally important to not forget about yourself. We shouldn’t forget that happiness isn’t just about giving, but also about receiving. We all deserve to be valued and loved for our true selves.
It’s important to understand that kindness doesn’t always lead to happiness, but it will definitely lead to respect and self-respect. The key is to be a good person for yourself.
