RE: The Greatest Man Alive... My Father "Acts of Kindness Challenge" Entry #5
This is really a heartwarming story and it sounds like your father touches those around him in a really positive way. Thanks @bluelightbandit for another good one!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment! My dad is truly as good as they come. The bad part about him being so generous is often people will take advantage of his good nature and that's really disappointing. I enjoyed your post on intuition by the way, it was extremely well written!
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you liked my post!
Regarding the kind being taken advantage of, I've thought a lot about this over the years and have come to think that within reason, this isn't a problem. May sound strange but as a person who gives a lot and have been taken advantage of, when this happens I'll feel my hurt about it and then realize that I don't mind the giving after all. Maybe they didn't go about it in the best way, but usually it's ok. There are limits however - like having things stolen or being deceived and tricked are different to me at least.
My thoughts on this are in process so they may change but for now that's where they land.
I see and understand what you're saying. Although when I was referring to my father being taken advantage of, it was in reference to him being stolen from by people which he considered to be friends at the time. You are a very profound person :)
