The Paradoxical Commandments

by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

If you have a casual no strings relationship with a girl, and tell her it's casual.
Inevitably she will want more..

Am i doing it right ???

The first one sounds like an excuse to be a cunt, like that "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best" bullshit.

No, I won't love self-centred people.

What a load of toss.

I just threw this out there to see how people react to it. I think on some levels it makes sense, but could also be used to justify being a twat. As in "the world isn't enlightened enough for me!"

Sounds like the precursor to a gun rampage.

Reads like the brochure of a cult. Not sure why it was posted in here. Locked.
