Does it pay to be a good person

At 23?

Because I'm not. And everytime i try to be I get fucked. Which just enforces my behavior. I'm good to my family and I'm good to my friends but females and morons have a special place in their heart for me

I guarantee you it does pay to be a 'good' person. Most people are deceived into thinking their life will be worse if they do, but thats not The Truth. I am guided by an inner voice, a conscience. I dont always listen; but in general I try. Do you not have a conscience? What do you do that makes you think you are 'not a good person'? How are you 'fucked' when you try to do the right thing?

I guess it just depends on your situation. I think its pays to be a good person at any age but I dont know the story

I dont know if it pays since the definition of paying doesnt go hand in hand with being good for me... I'm good cuz I want to now because I expect a reward in return. I do see how sometimes u can be nice to comeone and teh bitches turn around and spit in ur face or get u in trouble or are just plain ungrateful...

it pays to be a good person, but it depends to what extent you commit yourself. Also if you are expecting something in return automatically, then it's not neccessarily an unselfish act.

the thing is being selective of who you help and how much. someone who's undeserving or ungrateful or just lazy..doesn't deserve a great deal of help.

It doesn't pay to be a good person. It pays to be a good looking person.

Sometimes I think not at any age. We all ave 'the selfish gene' and if we try to deviate from our natural instincts too much we'll get screwed over.

I know from experience you can be nice to people every day and very rarely will it be appreciated. Some will, most wont.

In the case of women, because you mentioned it...they don't typically get turned on by nice behaviour and will more often than not see it as weakness and reject you/even dislike you for it. Even if that is just how you are with everyone they will assume supplication. Rarely will you find a woman not like that (at least until you get to know her much better).

I'd say overall it doesn't pay to be nice at any age, but if it makes you feel good then do it because that is all that matters. Occasionally you may just pick up someone really worth knowing who does appreciate your 'niceness' and maybe they might be worth it.

I am a good person because thats who I am, not because I want it to pay. Don't get me wrong, I was born a good person, I strayed way off course in my early twenties, than made it back to reality luckily. I was never violent though.

good person = ?

i guess for most peoples' definitions, it pays to be a good person around other good people. if you find yourself getting burned, it just means you need to associate with better people.

the optimal society is one where everyone is a good person. if everyone was a bad person the world would be a complete shithole and nothing nice or worthwhile would exist

I try to be a good person and get continually kicked in the teeth

enough so that in...oh 6 or so days ...my medic license expires..and I'm letting it
It would take me just shy of two years to get it back after that


fuck people

I think that it pays for me to be a good person. However, I also get to re-define what a "good person" is.
