Only saints and/or monks can afford to do good to everybody, no matter what. But they don't have bills to pay, families with kids, nor they have jobs and deadlines.
If you are to do some good, then choose carefully the beneficiary, otherwise would be a shame and a waste of resource. Because for sure somebody else, somewhere else would have been the right beneficiary. Only you weren't smart enough to find him, or you didn't have the time to discover that person. In other words, do the good to a beneficiary who deserves it and makes the whole thing worthed. Otherwise, it will all turn against you in the end. The wasted good will have its revenge sooner or later.
So, instead of wasting time searching for the beneficiary of our altruism, we wait for the right opportunity. If nobody shows up, try to do that good to yourself. Or preserve that resource, enhancing it, if possible.
And finally, there is no rule in this world and no authority that can guarantee everybody must be saved in the end. Maybe it is sad, but I am afraid it is true.
I am not talking here about saving somebody from a house in fire, from a car accident, from drowning into water or from a suicide attempt. Obviously.
A smart guy once said: "You must do good from bad, because there is nothing else to do it from".
Since we are not saints, apostles or monks, we all do good as a sort of investment. And for our own pleasure. Everything we do in this world we do to make ourself feel good. Human being is conducting its life on the principle of continuous search for pleasure. No matter is about glory, money, love, sex, friendship, religion, food, sleep and all the rest. Even more: the human being consents to live a period of big bad if at the end there is the expectation or the promise of a BIG GOOD.
So. Do good as a sort of investment. But expect in return ONLY a wonderful grown person ready to be your true friend and nothing more. It will do good to both of you, in the end - another won battle in the war against this fucking loneliness...
