I never repent for having been polite to anyone even when I have been ripped off, betrayed, let down, or hit the brick wall the moment I am nice to you it does not dictate how nice you are in return.

Do not expect to reap something when you have not sown any input at all.

In the world’s case, there is nothing called chance; all thoughts and all actions are causes and all that you experience at the time is the effect.

Quite often, when people are nice to somebody, it says something kind, but, as it is written in the book ‘He has a beautiful soul and thinks the world deserves his positive attitude even though his gentleness will be abused, disappointed or even stepped on by other characters, he gives it to the wrong people.

The silliest thing that people do is want results and then either get anxious or become troublesome when no results are attained. Little does one know that whoever said ‘God works in mysterious ways,’ knows it is far better and wiser than what we can choose for ourselves. The darkness? God’s perfect will. Everything is planned out, in the best way it can be.

It is true that we are too good to a person, we can be betrayed but if we are so then we can understand the moral actuality that kindness should be conveyed to the right person sincerely and kindness is something which cannot be borne by anyone.

Whether I pay for kindness to others and whether it is blunted, whether it is painful and humiliating, does not mean how well I do it but I am very good and kind.

He noted the fact that there isn’t anything that is wrong with being a good person when one is alive. These good people shall get good things, but it is apparent that our benevolence should not be the same for everyone. This work to the right folks and make this world a much more aesthetically and harmonious conducive environment!
