Do you count the good things you did for other people, and expect them to repay? / myLot

I used to know a lot of people who count the things or favors they do to others then expect those people to re pay them, by doing something for them as well or they will spread nasty things to others. Do you expect other people to re pay you back?

Nope, life doesn't work like that. But I believe in karma, so I still try to be helpful and so things for others to be honest. I hate people who never do anything for others without some hidden agenda!

correct! we should always do good things.It does not only feels good inside when we help someone, it makes us attractive too!Doing good things to others makes us glow from within. It shows in our physical features since we are always positive.

If I were to do something for someone, I would not expect him or her to pay me back. I mean, you did it out of willingness so it is not right to expect them to repay. When you do a favor, it is because you want to do it not because you were forced by someone or something. Anyway, you can always say "no" if you want to.

That is right. No one forced you to help them anyway. By helping someone, it is through choice and willingness to help. We should never expect anything at all.

Not really, if you're going to expect that, you shouldn't be doing good to them in the first place because you're not really willing. Not saying that you'd let them abuse you, but then just seeing them being appreciative of it is enough.

true! I agree. we should not expect anything if we do something good for other people.We will be disappointed if we expect then the person did not meet up our expectations. We should always do good things willingly or not at all.
