  • tried to stay positive, then misfortune strikes
  • tried making friends, ended up ghosted
  • tried looking for better job, then scammed
  • tried save money, inflation happens
  • tried sell product online, fees and tax cut, also less buyers.
  • tried theraphy, the solution only dont think about it, its okay (if only it was that easy)
  • tried being nice, taken advantage of
  • tried being honest, get hatred
  • tried religion, yet god let million of nice person suffers
  • tried sleep, need regular medication
  • tried work hard, ended up surgery and years of rehabilitation

at this point, i am so tired with whatever i do, it always doesnt work.

right now i can relate why some people choose to become evil person, because being good and nice person in this world is just not as rewarding as bad people does. even those people who ghosted and bullied me ended up becoming rich and succesful, and here i am struggle everyday. life is really unfair world.

I would, because I have a conscience, and I'd rather not be rich than be a rich twat. But also, the assumption in your comment is that evil people are guaranteed to be lucky and rich, which isn't universally true. There a many good people that are lucky and rich and many evil people that are lucky and rich.

Bernie Madoff is an evil person that was extremely wealthy and evil and it caught up to him. Trump is evil and wealthy with power. I'd rather be dead than be either of those people.

You should be a good person because it's the right thing to do, not because you expect a reward or wealth.
