Dear Ruby!
Happy new Year!!

Of course that is fine. This is what sharing of opinions is all about. I just feel when we do good to others some air of calm exist within us. For that, being relaxed is already a positive outcome. Then other good things roll in as people like to deal with calm people. But that does not mean money or things only, well being counts too.

Thanks Eduardo.

Yes Suku, it has a lot to do with what you said: 'our feeling of good'....this brings an air of calm. That is counted as good already isn't it?

Thanks Suku..

I'm afraid I'm somewhat pessimistic about this, but I'm interested to know what others think

Ruby, I wish to agree but dear, I would love to count on 'our feeling of good' when we do positive things to others rather than being sure of good things happening to us - since it rarely happens, haha

What goes around, comes around! ;-)

Yes, of course

Absolutely Gina. Unfortunately, people quickly expect material gains & they wait for them endlessly not realising the real rewards are already there, being calm, relaxed, being generous, about well being...all the intangibles that money can't buy.
