The Crime of Altruism


Im not here to talk about this painting or who its by. Im here to talk about the crime of being altruistic. Why is it such a bad thing to care about others over oneself? I find myself always being hurt by people for caring too much. I can't be a blatant asshole, thats not my nature. Im tired of feeling guilty for reaching out and being there for others who can use the sympathy only to be hurt in the end. Yes altruism is about selflessness, but i would think that a selfless act would be accompanied with at least respect in the end. Yet here I am, shedding tears for being made to feel bad for being there for others.
