Why is doing the Right thing always the hard way?

[snoozebutton]

You ever notice how you have to fight, struggle and claw your way along the path of whats right. All you have to do doing the wrong thing is hop in the wagon, close your eyes and fly down the path. No wonder they call someone who takes the right path a man of strong character. It's had a hell of a workout to get there lol.Thank you so listening to me ramble.

It is easier to do the thing that goes against one's character, to fall in step with others.

It takes integrity to be above the crowd and outside the herd mentality.

SB,I understand that whole sentiment.

Thank you ladies, it felt good to get that off my chest.

 

[SINthysist]

That only lasts until it becomes a habit.

Then it gets much easier and doing the wrong thing becomes the hard choice.

Seems to me like someone needs some practice, so stay after it! Reps are the key...

I say you just give up the whole "Good" concept and start sacrificing goats to me. Good is over-rated and Evil is recruiting.. so come on down and sign your enrollment form today.

 

[SINthysist]

I'd prefer to sacrifice you to the goats. They are mean smelly little bastawds and I don't wanna go anywhere near them...

Perhaps your right, maybe the selfish side in me is a little stronger than it should be maybe it's time to send the nice guy side back to the gym .

Yeah, as they say....shit floats.

The more the right path is traveled the more passable it is.

OMG....I agree with SIN

 

[SINthysist]

But, see, as a hedonist, I believe SIN IS GOOD!

 

[Aquila]

Depends on how much fiber you eat.

But thats exactly my point.

Good guys finish last, and sleep alone. Thats why its easier doing the "Bad" thing. the "Good" thing is harder because it typically cost more than the return. That was just a quick example.

Good guys reap far more lasting rewards. Bad guy get a quick fix that turns to shit over time.

True being bad is like eating a snack. While being good can lead to the whole buffet lol.

Reeeeaaally?

Whens the last time you saw a sweet old rich man? besides the movies?

Whens the last time you saw an honest politician of any political bent?

Whens the last time you met an asshole (male) on the street that hadn't gotten laid in the last two days.

Whens the last time you met an asshole (Female) on the street that didnt have her man wrapped around her gold digging finger?

Stop and tell me, as a female.. what kind of guys do you STAY with.. not say you WANT?

and tell me as a nice guy.. how many female friends do you have, .... now how many actually return anything to the friendship?

Rich = Right????

Hmmm...my rewards are different than yours.

I've met many men who have worked hard and retired comfortably.

What's politics got to do with doing the right thing? Or is that the Right thing?

Assholes get laid but then the chick splits as soon as she realizes what an asshole he is. Unless she sticks around despite the abuse. Then the development of a loving, father-cherishing family is bound to follow

I stay with guys that do the right thing. Not assholes.

I can only hope that the few friendships I have developed (with nice guys) have been mutually rewarding. If yours have not than I cannot believe that being an asshole would improve your odds of developing one.

Don't rich old men get playboy playmates before they get lonely?

I was using politics as an example, of doing the wrong thing advancing you in life.

But "and then the chick splits.." I have to disagree with that. I wish it was the case, but its not.
although theres nothing wrong with a patriarchal (sp?) family.

as to your friendships I hope the same thing..

but in the long run, this is what happens.

You be the good guy/girl for a long time, the world learns this, you get a big welcome mat tatoo stapled to your head. or "Victim". you get taken advantage of for a good long period of time, then you start to emulate being an asshole for self protection. you find that being an asshole while sometimes morally repugnant even to yourself is less painful the being the nice person. You will from time to time regress to the nice guy mode from time to time, however when this happens you will quickly be taken advantage of or fucked over in some way shape or form, until you the previous nice person decide.. fuck you, fuck the world, fuck your beliefs, and my ex-morality, its time for a complete re-evaluation of beliefs.

So in the long run being the nice guy/girl is no more rewarding then just being the original ass. as a matter of fact its a disadvantage. since sooner or later, you turn into the worst kind of asshole. the nice person gone bad. the one that truly doesnt give a rats disease infested ass about any other person on the planet.

Im glad that you treat your nice guy friends and lovers so well. you are one in a million, shine on your bright and glowing starhood. woot.

P.S.
And no you dont, stick with the nice guys.. cause you used the word Guys (plural) saying you have dropped some before. otherwise you would have said. I stuck with a nice guy.

 

[snoozebutton]

Just because she used plural "guys", doesn't mean she can't stick to one. You have to have that spark to stay. But i do agree that the good guy is seen as a friend and someone to lean on when in trouble. Good guys are safe so we hear about the same wrong choice but different guy over and over again.

The same thing can happen to "good girls."

You can be a good guy and not be a victim. There is a middle road between being an asshole and a nice guy that get's taken advantage of. You can be a little more aloof instead. Watch...and wait. Expect nothing and see what comes. Maybe the right friend or lover will be there.

And, Aquila, I have stuck with one more than you will ever know.

Well off to work but Iwill say the only thing that bothers me is those that turn that hurt to hate. Never give up on trust when you do you are the one who becomes the asshole. And allow the chain to continue. For most "players" are those that got burnt and want to fill that hole inside with other's pain.

figured so.

I like parables.. stories that have a moral. Ill post one of my favorites later that illustrates further my feelings on the subject better a little later.

But, my point is still valid of why its easier to be bad, and do bad things than to be good and do good things.

Just like if you punish a child for doing wrong, the child will by association learn that doing whatever he/she did is wrong, but reward the child and he/she will learn that the action is valid. so it is if a person does good and is punished.

Society rewards the wrong thing, it does not reward the right thing. thats just the way it is.

 

[weed]

I do not disagree it is harder. But I do hold higher value for the rewards.
