A true sport is nice without seeking a reward. Not being used and working the bare minimum of your worth at a professional job is a different thing, but if you are kind to people with the hopes of being rewarded, then perhaps you should reevaluate your own kindness. As for friends and strangers, I often put too much on my shoulders and offer kindness when I know it won’t be reciprocated. Maybe that’s foolish of me, and asking to be abused. I often tell myself I’d rather be a fool than an a*****e.
