Why does "no good deeds go unpunished?

[RMoore007]

This is my understanding of the op's post.

I sometimes give. And later have remorse. The hand that feeds me is my own worst enemy. I give until I bleed.

I'm sure he is.

I think this is pretty much the case. It doesn't always turn out poorly when you try to do some good for someone. Just sometimes it does. Life and certainly people are unpredictable. But I think we NOTICE more when it does turn out poorly. We didn't get a good response as we were hoping for. The biblical principle, however, is that we will reap what we sow in the long run and I believe that applies here.
