Honest people are screwed first

Honest people are innocent.They see their own reflection in others and think that everyone is honest.They can't even dream of the dishonest world they live in.So they blindly believe others and that's where they get stabbed at the back.I know a boy who is my friend.He is so innocent and honest,but he has been continuously cheated by his brothers who are habitual cheaters.I agree with you.

It is not only honest people who are screwed first, but also nice people too! People take advantage of people who are nice and they are seen as people to get results from and that is all, never paying anything back.

I like your saying-always straight trees are cut first and too honest people are screwed first, and agree-Honest people are screwed first thanks for sharing.

It is only good to be honest and kind. But we should not be naive and we must try to be alert all the time.

I do think that she should keep more for herself, you can't tell everything that is on your mind even if it is true, you will always have one that will take advantage of you in this world. She can be honest and true to you, and outside of the that it is not to the world to know it. you have to help her in some of that.

Hi Roshigo. I agree with you. I experienced that situation where your wife is. When I was in high school, inspired by my Religion Subject, I was too honest. What I do was to deceive them, but it happened all of the people around me I deceived. At the end, I was regretting that I shouldn't lie. My It is better to stay honest. Just pray for the people who take advantage to all of you.

Hi roshigo, being too kind and honest is already not adviseable. I believed that we should be in moderate in our daily life. One of the things to avoid being screwed is One should help the immediate family first who are in need and if we have extras after helping our immediate family we can by all means do it to others. I hope that she knows that helping others is not just by financially only but also by assisting them where or how to go about to solve matters at a proper channel. Honest people does not get screwed but a sign to heed. All good deeds will be repaid as what i have experienced. What goes round comes around

ya that is exactly correct and that happens in most of the cases,well said so the life takes its tool,we have to be patient

Hi, i think there's nothing wrong being honest. You should be happy to have her your wife. All you have to do is let your wife learn how to fight back. If she knows where she stands and knows what she believe is true then she had nothing to worry. Life is full of crook people. Its always up to us to choose where to side. It's rewarding to earn trusts and respects from others. Don't you think so?

Hi roshigo! Sometimes, this thing really happens. If that is the case, it is important that you always guide your wife on matters that requires decision making to avoid her from being scammed in any way. For me kindness should be separated from being easily fooled or cheated. We can be kind enough but we should not be easily cheated. I am also a kind person but when I know that somebody is taking advantage of my kindness, I would already keep distance. I also let my husband know about the things that I would want to do or some offers from friends before I make any decision, especially when matters concerning money. Have a nice day!

Many people think i'm too honest as well and my friends often tell me it is not good for me,i should learn to "sleek"sometimes,but i can't change my"bad" character,hehe,i think people all like honest one to get along with,if i not honest and frank,my friends will leave me,but,there are something bad for honest people,just as you say,people will take advantage of your wife's kindness and deceived her,however,i think it is not toally due to honest,honest people also can protect herself,can very strong and don't deceived by others,all should do is to open her eyes and learn to know more ways of the world,that's not contradictory,and in fact,when you are fact,the opportunity of being deceived is less,because other people will protect you consciously,so i think you wife should keep honest.

Some times people take advantage of honest people. Honest people tend to believe other people are also honest, but there are those people who know how to abuse an honest person. There's a saying , "Beware of strangers bearing gifts." Some times when you're honest, you think a person is trying to help you by giving you things. Then you find out that that person has stolen those things that they have given you. Or you may help some one out, because you're trying to do the right thing and they end up abusing what you have given them or they even want more.

I think you are absolutely right. There are those of us who had good parents who instilled values into us, and unfortunately those who had a lack of upbringing do take advantage of our willingness to be honest, helpful, and caring. And I honestly do believe that really that is what it boils down to- the upbringing we are given as a child. They have the saying "Nice guys finish last." Unfortunately that saying is completely true. The nice guy is so busy helping those who would take advantage of him, that he finds himself the last one to achieve his goals. It is a very fine line that people have to walk when it comes to helping others anymore. If you put yourself out there to much, you do get stomped all over. But, if we start guarding ourselves, don't we, in a sense, lose a part of us that makes us a good person? It's hard to say how much is to much. There are so few truly good people left out there... Be proud of your wife that she is one of these people. Even if she does get hurt sometimes. Hold her when she cries, but let her know you are proud of her that she did the right thing!

I personally believe in the saying "you reap what you sow". So althought it might seem that sometimes dishonest people are always winning. Chances are that short season of winning will be interupted by something to the equivalent of what they have done. It is always best to be honest and to try your best to do things right. You never know when a bad deed can come around and bite you in the butt!

Not all people you know are your friends. There are those who will stand by you no matter what and there are those who remember you only when they are in need. For the longest time, I have become the goody-goody girl. It is not a front but the real me. I want people to know that they can ask help from me and I am very much willing to help them in anyway I can. But I guess there are those who just do not know their limitations. It is like lending your right hand to them but they would still want the left hand. I do not want to have a wooden heart for them but sometimes, I feel that they are going beyond what they are suppose to. And so I have learned- not to give yourself too much on anyway coz in return, they will be the ones that will use and abuse you.

Hi roshigo, there are a lot of dishonest people in the world and when then find themselves in a position to take advantage of honest people, they do not hesitate to do so..I totally agree with you honest people are so use to being just that, honest, we don't always see or even recognize the scammers...

Sadly this is true honesty doesn't always pay this saddens me deeply that this is the case. There is a saying nice guys finish last and I think this is very relevant here.

This is a all time problem. To simple people get a kick at their back every time when they try to help some one. Can't change this thing.

Your wife maybe too kind and there's always a human tendency to take advantage of these kinds of people. Just like Dolphy I mean he is too kind to people and now these people take advantage by asking money from him which is something I view as unfair.

There is no reason to be disagree with your words. Yes brother honest people are screwed first. Im an honest man and I try to believe others easily. The people who I believe think that I have the tendency to believe others and I can be used for their interest easily. First I never disbelieve them. Because its inhumane. But I am kinda scientific minded to detect any adultered thing or speech. When I go to pass away from they try to trap me by many excuses. But I always try to shut the door of their showing excuses. Hi ros, we are being cheated because we are not clever. We have to be clever. Now I hardly believe there is any honest man who wont screw. All are beast. I become awefully sad when I see the darkness into them. Now I maintain amicability with those tricky people. Never I try to collide with them. Because If I do so I'll be defamed. Regarding purchasing things I generally buy brand names. Hardly I get close to those screwers.
