Goodness

In the story Storyteller  the aunt tells a typical story with a happy ending for the good girl. However the bachelor tells a different story, he tells one that is more realistic. In his story he tells how a good hearted girl gets eaten by a wolf in the end. This reflects the truth about being good. Being good doesn't always result in rewards and flower, usually people wouldn't even notice if you did do something good. In the aunt's story the little girl is rewarded with medals and prises, and in the end saved by people who noticed her goodness. In real life if the people had to risk their own life to save the little girl, they probably wouldn't have done it. It is a man eat man world out there, no one cares if you helped a old women cross the street. If they saw you getting robbed they would run away in stead of saving you, unless their were your friend, but even then. The bachelor tells the truth about life goodness doesn't protect you from danger, now a days it actually makes you a target because it makes you seem weak in a way. People would only notice you in the world if you did a really huge good to benefit everyone, the other way is to do bad. Just by the tiniest bit of bad people will notice you and poke at your flaws until you can't take it any more.

When I was in elementary school I learned that being nice and good to everyone doesn't always benefit yourself. One day I was during brake I went out to the soccer field to find a friend of mine. On the way there I passed by the concrete outdoors basketball court. While I was there I saw a basketball fly over the fence and drop next to me, I thought to myself why not be a good boy, pick it up and return it? So I did as i walked into the court the kid in side yelled at me and said that i was stealing the ball! I didn't get it at first but then they insulted me , and i said i was only trying to help give their ball back. They called me lier and many other names, then I got scared and ran like there was no tomorrow. From that experience I learned how being nice to others do not always make you feel good, sometimes you just have to do whats right even if you know the feed back would be negative.
