Why being a good person doesn't work in life?

The bible says if the very very very best had to suffer those who follow the very very very best would also have to suffer, but I believe that if you try hard enough, your suffering doesn't have to last forever, and you can get past it. I've had multiple people send me death threats over the years but I cannot be killed because I already suffered with Jesus by having afflictions while following him.

If it isn't working for you it's because you are more bad than good.

Very few people are good. Most are average. They are good only when they feel comfort and treated well. That isn't good at all. Anyone can do that.

Good requires discipline of the highest order. The discipline person always wins eventually if they channel it along organized lines of endeavor.

It works, but it must be towards other decent people.

Being good to the wrong people can and often will seriously backfire on you because evil people see kindness and virtues as a target to exploit and do harm unto others.

I think you’re wrong there.

Surrounding yourself with good people and good deeds does have a “karmic” effect.

You want to know what gets you ahead in America? Being a fucking idiot. And this is the truth.

No, not being a "fucking idiot" does not get you ahead. Being decisively, driven, not always agreeable, and somewhat ruthless, gets you ahead.
