A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.
I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!
Only goofs & silliness. (:

I have regretted both. Sometimes you'll just get punished for trying to help.
Sometimes you'll reap enormous rewards through selfishness and cruelty.
I guess the market has spoken. Be a sociopath.
What if you don’t have the mind for that?
Kill the part of yourself that's holding you back. Hollow yourself out into you are an empty husk, an all consuming void, that relentlessly hungers but can never be filled.
I wish to make certain that everyone is aware this is sarcastic advice, do not do this.
For me, even when a kind act goes punished, I don’t regret the actual decision even if I wish I could have prevented the unintended consequences. But I make an effort to believe that making the right decision is valuable in of itself
I have regretted, sometimes for years, not indulging in a selfish impulse.
Do you regret the action if kindness itself, or do you just abhor the response you got from it?
