Sorry it just doesn't work that way, helping old folks, taking care of stray dogs, giving to those who are in need, I have done all of it, being nice and doing the right thing and giving, being generous cause I have it and they don't.

You all know my story where the hell is all this wonderful Karma ?

The older I get the more cynical I am because I have lived it.
...you should try to shift your perspective, zap...for example, if i help someone or do something nice for someone, it truly is a selfish act. i do it because it makes ME feel good for doing something for someone other than myself. the fact that it helps someone else is secondary to my reasons for doing it. I feel good when i help others, but if they aren't thankful, it doesn't diminish how good i feel, my reward is how helping makes ME feel. any thanks i get would be icing on the cake...
