ever feel like no matter how many times you crawl up the wall of life you start getting tired of it and every time you fall you notice there is no one there to catch you or even ask if you are okay this is the way i feel and im curious if anyone even cares or is the world as cold as everyone assumes it is i would like to keep that hope alive that i am niot the only good samaritan left in this world

Trust me, you're not the only one. With the ever-growing amount
of people that are greedy, selfish, materialistic, and oblivious,
the "good" ones tend to get discouraged and even get to a "why
bother" point, but that's why we do anyway, because that's who
we are.

In the end, the only one you can really count on and trust is yourself..thats why you must love yourself first, know who you are and like the person you are...its only then when alone and loneliness are not synonymous....


peace..

ok but just by you ladies answering the question for me shows me that i am not the only one so that would mean that there are people out there that still give a damn so why can't we the ones that realize this try and spread it around and show people it's kinda like that 1 commercial i saw a couple times a baby drops it's toy out of the carriage a stranger picks it up and gives it to the baby that lady with the baby then sees a man about to get hit by a car yells at him to get his attention it sets off a chain reaction of goodness that sets foward i make it a point every day and everywhere i go i look for someone that needs help now im not going to see a man building a house and ask him if he needs help but i will stop to help a person on the side of a road with a flat or help a man even if he is homless to check to see if he is ok even acknowledge him i hope that by doing so will give him the confidence he needs to pick himself up this what i feel god put me here to do

do your own thing...dont worry about what other do or dont, teach by example...you never know whose watching and learning...

thanks =D

Wow. That is one loooong sentence, man.

Breath. Relax.

Don't let the world bother you so much. Just continue doing the good that you do.

Like pmarco said, lead by example and do your own thing. We can't
make someone else do what they don't want to.

Very true. I was in a really bad car accident last year, and all the people I thought were my friends abandoned me. I was forced to move to a place where I don't know anyone, and still haven't met anyone here. I haven't had any family for years now, so it's been a real lesson in self-reliance....

but thats just it. it shouldn't have to be that way im hoping that by talking about will wake people up that don't realize the more damage that they do by doing nothing than the people who make an attempt to help some peopl are oblivious to the hurt they cause so what you people is saying is that everyone learns the same way which is false just because you dangle a carrot in front of a horse doesn't mean that horse will always go for it sometimes it's so full of other food that wouldn't even pay attention to the carrot.....i hope everyone sees that metaphore

nice guys finish last... it's almost a proven fact...i had to teach myself to be not nice, because being nice never got me anywhere...
all it really does is most of the time people are nice back, but is just a false sense of niceness...

I agree that it shouldn't have to be that way -- and, in an ideal world, people would always have someone to turn to when they needed help.

But in the real world, what I've found is that people only care about themselves and what they can get from you. The minute you need some help from them, they vanish. Sad but true.

so simple as this i am not a fictional person at all i am a logical realist in everything i say why is it so hard to make the ideal world the real world why is it so hard for people to care if everyone did there wouldn't be anyone who didn't so we wouldn't have daughter sexually molested by their father or kicked out of there home at a young age due to a alcoholic mother these things would exist and it simply starts by encouraging our younger generations to do the right thing but that all has to start with me and you

and by talking about it manifests after you read you will think about it will manifest in you now i ask you talk to someone else about this and they talk and so on until everyone has heard this so everyone realizesthat the goal of this is reaachaable we just need people to care enough to speak it

and that starts with you so don't sit there and tell me it can't be done because if we can put a man on the moon we can't figure something as simple as giving a **** about the guy next to you wether its at an airport or a bus or a subway anywhere and everywhere you go this is how i feel and i myself tell this to everyone i know it's hy my friends are who they are all my friends are the same
example i have a friend who was a hard gang banger i had a conversation about this do you know what he does now as volunteer because i convinced him to simply care? there is a small highway near my house he actually walks up and down it once a week and picks up garbage he has also started a youth program to clean up where ever u walk if you see a homless man don't ignore him ackknowledge him and encourage him but do not give him money give hime the self confindence and knowledge to make his own money

I studied psychology for 7 years, and I ended up being a counselor/therapist/sounding board for everyone I knew, for years and years and years. I felt good about it, too, and I helped a lot of people. It wasn't always easy, but it was worth it, and I think I was able to help a lot of people make improvements in their situations.

But after what I went through in the car accident, I just really don't have any interest or desire to help anybody anymore. I mean, I went years and never asked anybody for anything, and the one time I desperately needed some help, everybody disappeared.

It was a wake-up call.

That's the point -- I learned that I can't count on anybody for anything. Harsh, but that's the reality.

my advice for you would be the next time you have the oppertunity to help someone...do it just by doing that will show that if you can help someonethat person may help someone else it's a cold world out there right now and you can't expect everyone to just change right away but i promise you that if you do help someone anyone weather big or small will encourage that one person u just helped to help someone else and if they say thank you corny as it may sound but psychologically it will lose it's corniness if more ppl say it but simply say u want to show thanks? help the next person you that needs it and thats how you will show appreciation for a favor

don't think about what you will get out of helping that person think about what you are doing that what that person will benefit from you helping them

doesn't anyone remember the o'jays?
people all over the world, join hands, start a love train.
even the guys at coors light got this one.
