Hurt but not defeated

Something is up. I said something is up. Blog followers as of 31st July, ten. Blog followers as of 20th December, thirteen. Number of posts between 31st July and 20th December??

0.

Weird?? I say something is up.
Its been a long lay off. (as usual)
But today, i feel the urge to write. At this unearthly hour, i will myself to write. Why you ask?? Because words allow me express unspoken feelings bottled up and stashed away from sight for long periods of time. Feelings otherwise potentially explosive and combustible.
You know the expression good guys finish last?? well i discovered that it may just have some credibility. Forgive me for thinking i'm a good guy... but hey, i try. Beats not trying at all right?
But sometimes it can be discouraging when people take advantage of your predisposition. You question why try? when people don't appreciate it but instead they play it like a joke.

One thing's for sure.. it hurts... good guy, bad guy... no difference we bleed the same... so why expose yourself to rejection when being a bad guy seems to get you farther? Sure you get mistreated as well.. but well you kinda expect it..
That's a thought that has significance... you expect it...
hmmmm.. thinking it over... why should the 'good guys' expect good treatment???

Well they shouldn't. Being good and expecting something in return would mean ulterior motive.
Where does that put the good guy then?? not so good after all.. so technically they should expect harsh treatment...
Well it doesn't matter anyhow... It's been a timely reminder of what motivates me to be who i want to be.

Because He first loved me.

i think a person with a good disposition is not being good to expect something in return.
it comes naturally?? i doubt these persons can be said to have ulterior motive when they are the good guys or are being good.
they are definitely different from those who are being good for a reason, expecting something in return --- NOT persons with good disposition

well much as you would like people to model after persons with good disposition and actually envy their good nature , in real life with kiasu-ism and survival of the fittest spirit rampant, more often than not persons with good disposition are being taken advantage of , taken for granted, even bullied or exploited for their own ends???? to the extent of silent hurting on the part of the good guys.
i believe there is a place for the good guys to ventilate (not necessarily aggressive ) for the betterment of the "bad guys" rather suffer in silence
reminds me of iron sharpens iron
shouldnt be one way ... there is hope
