That "good guy" could be the bad guy

in #life7 years ago (edited)

 


Take a good look at the above picture and tell me if you believe that guy truly wanted to help the other man out of the pit? Well, it is obvious, he doesn't want to help. He was only giving the man the impression that he is trying his best to help him. That is absolute wickedness. A typical description of a friendly enemy.

Why do some people engage in this act? Why not walk away than give someone in need of your help a false hope? 


This is typical of hypocrites. Deep down in their hearts, they are full of  anger and animosity, but they put up the gentlemanly attitude. They always want to be seen as the good guys, but in reality, they are not.  They are wolves in sheep's clothing. Be careful when dealing with such  individuals. 

But how would you know the true intentions of the person?


The truth is, you may never know because people in this category are often seen as "the good guys". They are the ones you will want to vouch for. They appear more friendly than the good ones. They are the ones everyone  sings praises for because they know how to create a good impression of themselves in the minds of multitudes. 

Not all the "good guys" are truly good and not all the "bad guys" are bad. 

The story of John

John and Mark were childhood friends, both graduated from the same college, but Mark was fortunate to get a good job first. While John was a casual staff in a small company. One day, John's company caught fire and he lost his job. He went to his friend Mark and narrated his ordeals. Mark felt so sorry for his situation, he gave him some money, consoled him and promised to help as much as he could.

When John left the office, Mark's colleague who overheard their discussion, asked him why he didn't tell John to apply for the vacant position in  their office, he smiled and said it skipped his memory that he will call  him on phone and tell him about it later, which he never. 

The next day, the same colleague who seemed to become passionate about John's situation asked him if he told John about it, he said he did, but for some personal reasons, John does not want to pick up the job. And that was a lie. From time to time, he called John to reassure him of his support and gives him money.

However, John had this other friend Anthony whom he also told about his predicaments. He felt so sorry for John and asked him to join their social club because he believes he certainly will get a lucrative job by meeting other members of the club. After two months of being a member, another member helped John secure a good job. 

When John began working and got juicy allowances he sang the praises of Mark for being there for him and the other guy for helping him get the job. Anthony was out of the picture in John's mind because he was not calling  frequently or giving him free money. But he was the one who literally forced him to join the club as he was reluctant about joining at first. He was also the one who motivated the guy that helped him get the job to do so. 

Life is always like that. The good guys help you stand on your feet and walk. The bad guys enjoy helping  you crawl. The good guys tell you opportunities that will help you  significantly if properly embraced. The bad guys give you crumbs and withhold important information from you. 

It is not my duty to teach you how to start judging who is good or who is bad. The essence of my post is to let you know that some people you never knew are working behind the scenes for your good, are actually doing so. And  some who appear very nice and kind to you are not whom you think they  are. 

My Quote for today 

Don't judge people by outward showmanship. The "good guy" could be the bad guy and the "bad guy" could be the good guy. 

Thank God it's Friday.

The story of Mark and John in this writing is a great lesson, it’s not the best to give hope to someone when you’re not too sure of fulfilling such hope.

Unfulfilled promises are as disastrous as Cancer.

@ogoowinner thanks for being a helping mate on steemit.

Thank you for reading.

That's the perception at times of a wicked world my dear, most people want to be called the Messiah, yet their act of help is simply just an illusion

Thank you @ogoowinner for the other day I was sick.

I hope you are feeling better? Thanks for reading.

I am, very well indeed 😁😁😁

“Being Honest may not get you many friends but it’ll always get you to the right ones.”

That is true. Thank you for reading ma'am.

You're welcome a great topic

Marvelous story. I like your activities. Don't judge people by outward showmanship. The "good guy" could be the bad guy and the "bad guy" could be the good guy. Merry Christmas. Thanks a lot

Thank you for your comment.

You really have a point @ogoowinner. That picture is not a movie but rather every day reality. That is why we need to be sure of who comes close to us or who we go close to. Even in our relationship life. Being careful is the key. Thanks for sharing

Exactly. This act is very common in our today's world. Be careful with who you trust. Thanks for reading.

This is exactly what happens in society. A case of people willingly giving you fish but not ready to show you how to fish.

And they give you fish that is too small to quench your hunger. Pathetic! Thanks for your comment here.

Saying goodbye to bad guys this 2017... Welcome the good guys in 2018.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Now this is exactly what is happening.. I pray i find the right friend like Anthony and not mark... Fake friends everywhere... Thanks for sharing Sis.

Thank you for comment your @sweetestglo-eu.

Thank very much ,may God reward you in abundance ,with more insights and ideas to create such post that touches people life. Merry Christmas.

I'm glad it interests you. Thanks for reading.

You'll see them smile but their hearts are far from you, competition, they never want you to be like them so you won't get the chance to be better than them........ Fake friends

Judging books by it cover may be wrong something
Nice 1

Having unfriendly friends around you is one of the worst things that can happen to someone and my number one prayer point is that God should always expose them because they are never up to anything good. Thank you Ogo for sharing.

Waooo ,here you simplify it. Trust no one , be have some thing to do woth your fellow hum ,because u can't stay on earth alone. Being careful is another keep here, even when our carefulness is not enough as a human. Thanks for reminding us dear. I just followed you here new.

Ogowinner, well done. Your write-up is superb. Pls is there anyway I can connect with you on WhatsApp or Facebook chat, I need you to put me through some things. Thanks

Hello @ogoowinner
As I read your article, I could relate to it straight. I had a Mark in my life. He did the same thing to John. I asked him why he did that and he said that if he helped John, John won't respect him anymore or come to his place to ask for help. I was shocked to think someone could think like this. I advised John to look for something to do and stop collecting handouts from Mark. I didnt tell him that reason for advising him but I guess he must have thought about it.

I just don't know why people would ever want to be like Mark. Thanks for reminding me not to trust by the outward works of someone.
