RE: No good deed goes unpunished?

in Self Improvement9 months ago

There's good in the world, I believe it and work towards finding it as often as possible, usually in small things. I believe the opportunity to find it increases if one can avoid the bad or negative things however it is very difficult to do so when society is geared towards it. From the media and its propaganda, the way women are body-shamed, men are not allowed to be men, people committing atrocities in the name of their "religion", to pharma's and government agendas, rogue states...I could go on. I believe people have to make an active effort to find the good, valuable and beautiful things in life...beauty like you.

I see your light, and it's bright...but light creates shadow so that's there too, like with all of us, myself included. Understanding we have both is important, as is the choice to lean one way or the other - mindset.

I'm sorry about your car; yes, just a car (and wall), but it's your car. You seem to have taken it well...I know someone who would not have taken it so well, but he would have gotten over it I guess, possibly. You've done well and I hope the fix goes smoothly.

Hi Becca. Thanks for swinging past and leaving such a thoughtful comment, I always enjoy reading them.

Yes, absolutely there is a lot of crap going on in the world (always is I suppose) and it's sometimes very difficult to see past that - again, perspective is a good thing and my car's wall rash is very small in comparison to many things I've experienced, maybe that's why I could shrug it off a little easier than some.

There is always a bright side to every misfortune - I got to meet some of the neighbours 🤣

Between the crack in the windscreen from the truck and this wall scrape, the poor thing is getting wrecked faster than I'm fixing it.

I hope you are well Becca.

This made me think about myself. The scrapes, cuts and bruises and how I work towards fixing them.

😕 I'm sorry Becca, considering what you are going through at the moment I understand that and can sympathize. Keep your chin up and keep looking towards the sun - you reflect it's rays beautifully into the world.
