i just wanna help people

i have got to say, it is much harder to help others than you might realize. ever since college i learned that i have a not-so-secret desire to help others. and ever since about 1 year after college i have learned that the age old adage is true- no good deed goes unpunished. i have been trying to help people since 2008 as a career and it has totally come back to bite me.

helping others? prepare to feel the wrath of whatever or whoever is doling out this punishment.

am i discouraged? yes. absolutely.

will i give up and assume a life of greed and arrogance? absolutely not. i will continue to try and do my best with what i'm given to help those in need.

does anyone else feel this? perhaps i am overreacting. i have been known to do that, you know.

yep.
