Do-Gooders
I define do-gooders as people who do anything for the sake of their own prestige or glory. Are you a do-gooder? Have you ever done charity work to improve your resume? Have you gone to talk to your profs to “make connections.” Have you taught Sunday school simply for the scholarship the church offers? Have you done work with the community because they offer grants or scholarships?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above or are even uncertain as to whether you have or not, you my deplorable friend are a do-gooder. Do-gooders are fraudulent individuals who usually have the dept of a kiddie pool. More often than not your actions are completely transparent to the people around and they may resent you for it.
What I harbour, however, is not resent. Or, maybe it is. I’m bitter that people go around masquerading as good people/student/co-workers when in reality they are a hollow selfish shell with no other purpose then to improve themselves in some way. Usually a charity involves a few truly dedicated individuals, surrounded by a mass of false front heaps of selfishness.
Such individuals may be involved with the church, do charity work, be a member of the Legion/Lions Club/etc, but they are doing it for self-fulfilling purposes. People talk of these people as if they are the messiah come again, but they are simply seeing the façade of a person who is in reality a crappy person.
Some people find that they must become involved with certain activities to advance their career or education, but find some way to believe in what they’re doing to propel it past their self goals. Thus they become committed to what they are doing or trying to accomplish, but it is not these people who I hate.
The people whom I hate are the ones who do not even try to cover their motives for an activity.
Take Slutface for example: Slutface is a 19 year old female undergrad, with a 1.2 GPA who taught Sunday School for the grant. If she were smarter she would have left the grant for someone who truly needed it or believed in what they were doing, but she didn’t. Once at University she became a alcoholic whore who failed six out of ten courses. If she had truly tried and still failed, she would have my pity, but she did not.
Slutface is a transparent substitute for a slut I knew in high school. Maybe this resentment is centered around the fact that I must be truly committed to something before I do it, and I end up doing nothing. Am I more deplorable then someone who does charity work for their resume without believing in it? Perhaps, but they could at least try to believe in their work.
