“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.” -Dalai LamaI feel like lately I have been drawing the short stick a lot. I let a friend borrow our truck so that she could move and now the whole side of it looks like wolverine decided to add his personal touch. And this brings me to a question or a Y in my path of life. I love helping people out. I feel that if someone needs something that I have, I will help out. So a truck is just a material object. But it is an object that I have a vested interest in. It is not paid for (and even if it was) it is my property and I was nice enough to loan it out. I expected to get it back in the same shape as I loaned it out. Is that too much to ask??? I feel that the value of our truck is hurt. Something we have worked hard to buy, pay for, and keep nice. They had the truck for over 24 hours. It came back and the whole side looks like it was driven through a forest. Some scratches are completely though the paint to the metal. Some will be able to be buffed out. But that is besides the point. If I loaned something, I bring it back in the same shape it is. I do everything in my power to make sure if is taken care of. (Except my mothers car, if you know the story of that deer and its demise...)
So here is my question. Cause this really makes me NOT want to help anyone out again. I know that all people are not this way but how do you tell? Or do you just go through life helping people with a loving heart and hope you don't get screwed over too much.
On a lighter note...I also paid $22 bucks for a package of socks. That is what I get for not watching the register, and not checking my reciept till the store was closed. Looks like I will be making a trip back to Wichita to get that oops fixed, which will negate my savings unfortunetly. ANOTHER short stick.
