where did all the good people go?

i JUST came across a comment on my cousin’s blog that “one can never be too good to somebody else”. i thought it’s a weird thing to say initially, but after some thought, i almost have to agree with her. in this day and time, it’s impossible to be wholeheartedly sincere and nice to somebody and not be taken advantaged of. people always make fun of the guy who wears his heart on the sleeve, and then we go and wonder where did all the good people go…
i guess it takes too much effort to be so great to people all the time, but it sure is easy to crush someone’s spirit and turn them into a meanie.

on another note, the best things in life are pretty much free. forget getting the latest gear or the trendiest stuff – as much as i like them, my fondest memories have nothing to do with any of these material things. it is never “that time when i bought an expensive bag” or “when i got my new laptop”. i guess it’s pretty much like that rogers world cup commercial – “no matter where you’re at, the best times are when you’re with your friends”.
