Do Some Good Deeds Go Unpunished?

We've all heard the old adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."
I suppose my last post is a testament to that adage.
But sometimes Karma takes over, and a good deed is followed by good fortune.
Today, I helped an older gentleman in a wacky traffic situation. I'll describe It later, perhaps when I update this post. I have to head to music practice now.
Have you ever done a good deed and had it go unpunished?

It's all in the interpretations. A good deed must really be good to begin with. And Karma is a whole different thing.

I think good deeds do sometimes seem to come back to bite you, especially when you are only trying to help. But I still think it is worth doing the right thing. Even if there is no reward, at least you know you helped someone when they needed it. I will be interested to hear what happened with the older gentleman.
