    I have regretted both. Sometimes you’ll just get punished for trying to help.

      Sometimes you’ll reap enormous rewards through selfishness and cruelty.

      I guess the market has spoken. Be a sociopath.

          Kill the part of yourself that’s holding you back. Hollow yourself out into you are an empty husk, an all consuming void, that relentlessly hungers but can never be filled.

            I wish to make certain that everyone is aware this is sarcastic advice, do not do this.

      For me, even when a kind act goes punished, I don’t regret the actual decision even if I wish I could have prevented the unintended consequences. But I make an effort to believe that making the right decision is valuable in of itself

      Do you regret the action if kindness itself, or do you just abhor the response you got from it?

      I have regretted, sometimes for years, not indulging in a selfish impulse.
