What A Shame...

As the Chinese saying goes, "Good deeds are not made known (to people), but evil deeds can spread for a thousand miles (easily)."

What is the point in doing so many good deeds, when you'll still be the same as before, in terms of reputation, name, "face", and fame?

I'm not advocating that we should all run onto the streets, looting, murdering, and becoming arsonists. What I mean is that if the good deed offers no immediate benefits, just ditch it. If a good deed and an evil deed lead to the same path in life, don't take the good path. Chances are, you won't get anything out of treading the good path, and most likely, nobody will blame you if you do not take the good path, because that is exactly what everybody else has done in some point of their lives, by not always taking the good path.

Wha...what's that you're saying? Good deeds give you a sense of achievement? That's pure bullc**p. That doesn't happen in the real world now. Do a good deed, and karma will reward you, is that what you're trying to say?

Let me ask you this question: 1.) Good people being rewarded. 2.) Evil people having the last laugh. Which one (1 or 2) do you see more in real life?

Think about it.
