Do Good, But Stay Wise

Kindness is strength

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Halfway through my life

I have realized for sure that

The world is never fair.

We give good wishes to someone

Does not mean that others will wish us well.

We give sincerity to someone

Does not mean that others will always be sincere with us.

Doing good and getting good is something we can see.

Doing good and not getting good is also something we can see.

Doing good to some people, they don't even see that we are good.

They even think that we are stupid.

This is the world, it has been like this for a long time.

Weak people are always bullied.

And don't cling to the idea that doing good always means getting good.

But doing good should be the foundation of life.

Because there are more opportunities than doing something bad.

Therefore, base your life on goodness.

And you must know how to be careful and protect yourself.

Doing bad is to harm others.

We don't eat tigers, does not mean tigers won't eat us.

We are good to others, don't think that

They will be good to us all.

    Doing good and getting good is something we can see. Doing good and not getting good is also something we can see. Really true
