My reply to someone going through a rough time. Sharing here in case anyone else needs to hear this:
Question: "Do you feel that genuinely being a good person gets you absolutely no where in this world?"
My answer: "Yes. But you sleep better at night. You're not always looking over your shoulder for other people to stab you in the back like you did to them.
It might seem like nothing happens to shitty people in this world, but it does. Because they have to carry that hate, greed, envy and pettiness with them all the time. Dwelling on it when they're with people and supposed to be having a good time. Dwelling on it when they're alone and should be relaxing or trying to sleep.
So the curse of people with ugly souls is self made, and they have to carry that around with them all the time.
You don't win anything in this life for being a good person. But you get to enjoy your thoughts, your rest, and you'll make much better friends. "
