Do you ever try and balance your deeds/ karma?

I'm equal parts straight up a-hole and good guy.

Karma is bullshite. Everyday I hear/experience good people, people that try to do the right thing get shite on while people that lie/cheat/steal get the upper hand.

There are no Juste deserts other than those we serve up ourselves.

so if i don't want dinner, i can have just dessert?

My real good deed of the week was just now.

I'm on Tigerdroppoings upstairs participating in a cop bashing thread. (of course they were wrong to kill that guy, but I digress) my dog is going nuts. I see no car outside so I go downstairs to see.
There is an old man by the door, it's Jose the old man across the street.
He is locked out of his house and it is pouring raining. He needs to get a ride to Causeway to get a key. So I oblige, and bring him to his wife's work. She thanks me and I bring him back.

He was very happy and it was nice to talk to him, I hadn't really ever had but one or two conversations in the years he has been a neighbor.

So walking away from my beloved internet to give a guy a ride in the cold. Good deed of the day.

brag non de subtlé

I try to be the same person all the time, I'm no different in real life than I am online.

I try to do what is right and avoid being insecure or passive aggressive.

For most things that aren't a big deal to me I am either a people pleaser or just let it be. For things that I am passionate about I stand up and don't budge easily and if pushed too far I release the fury

It works, I like who I am and sleep very well at night

I'm fine too. But as (especially here) I am IRL'd more and more, I feel that my image here is of an a-hole with a complex.
My own fault. lol
But being the internet it's so much easier to just lash out, rather than nod your head and go with it.

I think there is an element of truth to this for everyone... However, I think it all comes down to our selfish nature. We do shite to piss people off or take advantage of them because it amuses us or otherwise benefits us in some way. Conversely, we do nice, seemingly unselfish things to assuage our guilt or to avoid the karma wheel coming back around on us.

Maybe ol' Rust has us figured out...

Same here. Although sometimes I find a reason to unleash the fury!!!!
