No good deed.....

When faced with an opportunity to help a fellow human being, many of us try to do what we can. Yet sometimes, despite our best intentions, we find ourselves facing something that we can only conclude is some kind of punishment. Why is it that the very perople or groups that we might be helping are the ones that turn on us and make us regret the effort?
Will I be the one to become cynical and refuse to help people? Will I merely become guarded? Will I shrug it off and get on with being my old self?
Will people the people that I helped ever realize the effect their punishment had on others that I migh have helped, but decided not to because I didn't want to feel their wrath again?
