I know a lot of good people who are doing well in life. Of course, there are those who try to bring them down. But really, your life choices are your downfall. If you make bad choices, it doesn't really matter how good a person you are, you will have hardships. Also, working hard is only a part of the equation. You need to work smart and play the political game a bit. |

Resentment only leads to more problems and loss. As for being a good person, you will most certainly be rewarded for that, if not in this life, then in the afterlife.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 21057428 United States 08/24/2013 09:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | According to Jesus, it's very important. He said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |

Just be glad you aren't one of them. When you find a piece of shit along side the road and you poke it with a stick, what do you expect to find inside of it, gold? No, it's just going to stink more. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34123922 Bump for truth! Good people get what they deserve, so do bad people. That's why we have jails. I know lots of good people that have heaps and they are very lucky. Bad things still happen to them but their positive outlook on life makes them bounce back better than ever. Bad people tend to hang out with other bad people and more shit happens to them. when they cross each other. |

It might not seem like much but you have your integrity and even though life is hard, the people who seem to have it all really don't. They are miserable, too - in just another way. IMO, our world may actually be hell or purgatory; there is little true joy - even when you reach out to others or they to you, it often doesn't change the circumstance much - but do it anyway. |

I hope I'll end up in Heaven, but believing in the After isn't providing me with food nor a job nor a home in the present and I don't think I will make it for too much longer. That's where you fucked up, you have to seek the kingdom first, not after so you can't end up there, you have to be there to begin with.
