Does it pay to pay it forward?

[JC316]

I try to help people whenever I can, and I have had people help me in return. I generally try to do things the right way and I have been burned before, but not enough to stop me. I just try to learn to read people a little bit better.

[CJ-95GT]

the whole point of paying it forward is to do something WITHOUT expecting something in return, immediately or later on. you just do it cause it's the right thing to do

Right on!

Grove is right on the money Mike . The only way Carma works is when you are true in your intentions . I was taught that you always do the right thing for the right reason no matter what others do . If people take advantage it is on them and they will get there's . You should not be concerned about when or where they do because its not for you to judge . I can tell you first hand I help tons of people (quite a few from this board) and it always comes back to me . My friends joke I can fall down in shit and come out smelling like a rose because I am lucky . It's not luck , its Carma . Being a good person will reward you in many ways but the reward should not bet the motivation .

I think it does good to pay it foward. It may not come back to you right away. But its always good on your soul & conscience to do the right thing. Most of all it just feels right & feels good even if it doesnt come back. I always try & do the right thing by people stranger or friends or family.

I try to do what I can to help someone out. I catch myself getting aggravated when I do something for someone when they need it on a moments notice and they don't even offer to pay me anything for going out of my way to help.

A good buddy told me like this, "I always do stuff for my friends not expecting anything, and if they give me something, it's just a plus. If they don't give me anything, I'm not upset because I wasn't expecting shit to begin with."

Only live this life once, might as well be as helpful as you possibly can.

I do it as much as possible. Have I been burned? Without question. But i still try to be decent and help others.

I'm bad about being lazy/reluctant to help people who ask for my help. I think it might be because I have a problem asking for help

But I love randomly helping people. People hood-up, stuck on the side of the road, etc.

The other day I was at my buddy's shop and one of his techs fucked up a clutch install on a 3500 dodge 4x4. He was going to stay late and re-do the install in order to get the truck out first thing in the AM. He's been working his ass off non-stop. Good for business, but he's been wearing thin. He looked really defeated, so I was like "hey man, you want me to throw that clutch in that truck for you?"

We hung out and drank a few beers while I hung the flywheel and clutch and we stabbed the tranny and all was good.

You've always been an asshole to me.
