    How many of us do good deeds? I mean, we all just want to do enough to get through our lives with the minimum of fuss. But sometimes its nice to do little things for people. Karma and all that. So what have you done recently, to constitute a good deed/

    I haven't killed anyone lately, been in the jolly Xmas spirit and all :)

    I don't believe in doing nice things in case "karma" gets me, I do it because it's morally right to help another.

    I'm always there for my friends, they like to confide in me, I've heard some shocking confessions but I never judge I just advise.
    And store up some great future blackmail material.:pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭Ellie2008


    I do good deeds but partly because I hate who I used to be and trying to make up for it to restore my mental health,,,quite a selfish reason really

    LMFAO ! No, my BF is kinda addicted to Poker I think. Any ideas of what I should do ?

    Apparently the deal with 'Karma' from the people who came up with the concept is that the books don't have to balance in this lifetime, you can be a complete bllix and still be blessed with a great life while a real decent person can get a complete sht deal all the time.

    The catch is that the same people have the concept of re-incarnation, the books get balanced in your next life.
    So Mr Bllox might just re-arrive into a sht life.

    Bad karma is like having to drink salt-water, but if you're good enough you can add so much water, by being good, that its not that bad.

    Walk away before you are banned??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    Well I don't actually believe in karma, per se. But there's nothing wrong with doing something nice for people, if you see an opportunity to.

    Yes, a threesome will quickly make him forget.

    Your boyfriend totally deserves a threesome, and many sandwiches and regular xbox games.

    (nice one, thats me sorted for my next life)

    I was on the phone as I waited for a guy to finish at an atm today. It took a couple of seconds to register that he hadn't taken the money and he'd disappeared into the shopping centre crowd and I hadn't registered what he looked like, so I took the cash sticking out of the slot, did my own transaction, and waited beside the machine for the guy to realise he didn't take his cash with his card and maybe come back. He didn't.

    So I went to the customer desk, told them I was handing in the cash at the police station if anyone enquired, and then I went to the police and filled in the form and left the cash. It took up ages and I wound up going home without the things I'd intended to get while I was out.

    tl:dr:

    I found a wad of cash and did the right thing, even though it ruined my day.

    I'll go against the trend here and not refer to anal sex but answer the question asked.

    Funnily enough today I donated the huge jar of loose change to Milford Hospice in Limerick and donated a load of clothes to Limerick Animal Welfare.

    Need to do a lot more in fairness.






    up the bum no harm done...couldn't resist :P

    am.... ya know if you just left the cash there, it goes back in to the machine, so he wouldn't have lost it. And I wouldn't personally trust the guards tbh.

    oops. well you'll know for future. he'll probably have assumed someone stole it, if it's showing up as gone from his account though.

    Theres a very elderly couple that live somewhere on my street. Ive seen them walking to and from the shop the odd time. Ive been living here a year and over that time id have helped the lady walk down the slope on the path (shes very poor mobility). Ive always wanted to knock into them, give them my number and tell them that i'll go to the shop and get their messages if they want me to. Is that too weird though? Ive stopped myself from doing it because I thought it might make them/me awkward. do people do stuff like that anymore?
