Chain of Goodness

Hello everyone, I’m here with the last post of 2021. I hope you had a good time since we met. I honestly had a lousy time. It’s been a month where I lost a lot of money and had some special problems, falling again, but somehow recovering.

This week, I’m actually going to tell you about something that I dreamed a little bit about and a little bit I realized. I call it the chain of goodness. I believe that the more people who enter this chain and those people include others, the happier and stronger we will be.

I have loved helping people for as long as I can remember. It has always made me feel good. The fact that I was born and raised in an environment where helping people is important also has an effect on this. But 2 years ago, I started a period where I didn’t want to help anyone anymore. I behaved well in this, and the people I helped rushed to upset me and hurt me.

For the last 5 months, I’ve been trying to help people as much as I can and try to get them up. I realized that this is a really nice thing. It makes you think it serves a purpose. Helping others both makes me feel good and strengthens the bonds of my relationships with people.

For example, there are many young friends who entered the software world thanks to me. We are still meeting with most of them and evaluating the situation. Nobody guided me when I was their age. And it really makes me so happy to see these young friends making positive progress in their lives. I look at the projects they have written on github and I am proud of them. I feel like I have a share in their success. I will never gain any financial gain from them, but morally I am their teacher and like every teacher, I want my students’ success very much.

I have 3 friends that I started gym. If these people continue with the same determination a year from now, they will have a very healthy and aesthetic body. I think about it at night and sleep happily, this is a great thing.

So why do I call it a chain? Because the good deeds I have done have always returned positive to me in my life. As I became a decent person and started to improve my environment, God always brought good people to me.

While I was feeling disgusting last week, people called me, took me out, made me come to my senses as soon as possible. No matter what you call karma, as you do good and try to raise your environment, you attract other people who will raise you and help you.

It is also important to find the right people when helping. I don’t help people below a certain level of intelligence and character, or anyone who thinks negatively all the time, which I think will tire me out with their energy. Likewise, if someone doesn’t care about what I say, I don’t say the same thing a second time or a third time. Even if you are the best mining worker in the world, you cannot get good results from a poor quality mine.

I still hate the geography, society and people I live in. But no matter what, I am committed to raising my circle as much as possible. As my circle rises, I am proud of it and I rise higher too.

“The reward of goodness is only goodness”. Surah Rahman is by far my favourite surah in the Qur’an. Regardless of my religious belief, there has always been a time I listened to because I believed in the correctness of the words there. Doing good, adding something to your environment, creating added value to a person you love and value, these are very, very valuable things.

In the last paragraph, I would like to evaluate the year 2021 individually. 2021 has been my awakening year. Realizing that I would be very unhappy if I lived my life as before, I took steps to slowly but decisively change things in my life, and I will continue to do so. I want you to join this chain of goodness. I hope it will be a good year in which we do sports together and progress towards achieving our material and spiritual goals. I love and value you.
