My friend keeps asking me "Do you remember when life was simple?" To which I'd reply "Life was never simple."

Well maybe not, but I remember a time when I was happy.

These days, all I do is help people. I give and give and give with little to nothing in return. I say little to nothing, because what I do get in return is either so miniscule that it hardly counts or it's evil.

Lets review...

I defend my little brothers, help them with schoolwork, let them play on my playstation, etc, then they act like b*ds and keep F***ing around when I try to get them to do something.

Try to cheer people up when they're stuck on a problem. result: other people yell at me.

I saved my last girlfriends life. Shortly afterwards I take her in when she's thrown out of her house.

What do I get back?

Death threats.

At work, I do a better job than my so-called supervisor (Let's call her K-T), who will stand upstairs doing nothing for hours on end.

Result: I get yelled at for making a single mistake. Yelled at on shop floor infront of customers.

Lend money - Have people turn their back on me when I need it.

Befriend the guy in high school who has no friends - Have him bully me when he gets 'popular'.

Everything I do has a perverse reaction, and I'm supposed to laugh at all the terrible things happening to me? I'm close to tears and I'm supposed to smile and shrug it off?

Well i'm sorry guys, but I find it to be no laughing matter.
