Used

It's unfortunate to meet people and be used. But sadly it happens.

I believe nothing is free in this world. Everything, every act, every deed costs something. Someone will do you good, but that always comes with a price for that person- may it be his satisfaction, or inner happiness, or flirtation- whatever it may be, it always comes with something in return. Most often, for the good ones out there (of which i also believe that man is innately good, but that's another story), there is mutual benefit for the two parties involved.

Unfortunately, there are people who simply use others for their personal gain, draining every resource, every emotion from another, until he'll find no use for that person and just drop him off. I call them simply the "users".

And i'm sure you know that there are a lot of them around, waiting for their next prey to use. Unfortunately, for unsuspecting people- like me (so stupidly naive!), you rely on the innate goodness of the person believing that goodness was presented to you. And that's when you get hooked into a blood-sucking game. But you're the one being drained of everything you have. Then comes the point when after giving so much, you start to need something. Then you ask for help. And such is the start of being dropped off. You're no longer needed. You're of no use anymore coz tou have nothing to give.

I'm sure, most of us have fallen to such predators. They lurk around. So be cautious. Leave while you can. Run if you must. When the red light starts blinking in your head, listen to that.

But if you've fallen to such antics, always remember it was never your fault. I believe that good always result in goodness and bad will be returned as well. Pretty soon, karma will befall that person who did you ill. All we can do is be thankful that somehow we have rendered help and assistance to someone in need (or we thought was in need). Sure it wasn't returned by the same person, but soon it will be returned a hundred fold in a whole different way.

I belive in karma. Your goodness will be accumulated and good karma will come your way in the most unsuspecting but rewarding circumstance.

And for that person, sooner than you expect, his bad karma will make him remember he's human, that he's in no way above anyone, no matter how powerful or influential he thinks he is.

Believe. And the world will soon turn.
