How many unselfish acts can one perform before they themself become selfish?
**NOTE: Grimm, Ruddiger and Mr. Calzone are fully excluded from this
I'm sure I have already blog'd about this subject, or a variation of such, but it yet again comes to mind and needs to be expressed.
To explain...
The last unselfish act I performed was to get two of my friends employment. An act I would gladly do again because I am their friend and saw two people in need. I don't expect anything from them in return, because as I said, I am their friend and did it because I knew they needed the help.
BUT....
Where was said unselfish act from someone else in my direction?
Anyone who actually reads my constant bickering would recognize that it never happened. I couldn't even get help from family because their "career is more important than helping" me out. This after 25+ years of being brotherly and doing favours, even when I'd rather push them out of a moving vehicle. It took a threat of never doing another favour to get any help, and by that time I was already employed from my own efforts.
At what point do people recognize that they are greedy and selfish bastards and decide to return the favour for which someone else had given them? Sadly, I don't think it ever happens.
Staying on the 'help with employment' track... where were all those friends (Ramrob excluded here) who actually got off their ass and said to themselves, "I'm gonna help bashtard get a job"?
I'll give you some names: Rubeus, Ruddiger
...end of list.
Pretty pathetic isn't it?
Out of an entire MSN and ICQ list of people, all who were well aware of my lack of employment status, Rubeus and Ruddiger were the only ones I can remember actually doing anything to help me find a job.
That makes me sick to even think about it.
Ruddiger was the original person who made an effort, years ago when he told me of some 'Idirect' company that he worked for who was hiring. Everyone who blogs here knows my story from that time on :)
So we're up to today (still on the job issue)...
I have employment, but I absolutely hate it.
I care not if they somehow read this, which they won't.
There is no reason why a friend still cannot try and help find a better job, cuz they all know I hate what I'm doing and the pay is total ass. My father asked a customer to take my resume, to which I have to wait till the New Year to find an update from, but that doesn't have to be it. I'm looking myself, but WHERE THE HELL ARE THE REST OF YOU?? Everyone knows at least SOMEONE who might be able to help get me or even our other friends who are unemployed a job. There I go again though, thinking of other people and wanting to make sure their lives don't suck either. But each person has at least one friend outside of the 'hermit circle' we call the Swam Building crowd. Family even, why not ask them to help your friends out??
--Anyone getting ideas here?--
To finish, cuz I could write for days on this subject...
Its not all about the job thing. I want people (my friends) to recognize when I am doing a favour for them, and possibly at times RETURN THE FUCKING FAVOUR and stop being such greedy assholes. I don't need something in return every time, but try and take notice favours being done for you. You might realize how big of a dickhead (women included) you may have been to not only myself, but to others who were stupid enough to keep helping you when you didn't deserve it.
