One of the biggest mistakes I made in life that I wouldn't want anyone to repeat is to believe that all the people you helped when they were in need will stand by you when you also need them. Long story short I had an opportunity to help a couple of people when they were struggling, things got better for them and I had a challenge and I was hoping to get the same help from them since I helped them when they were in need but I was disappointed, abandoned and I regretted ever helping them.

I agree. And, further, at times we give others good help, but they are stupid enough to not want it, or us.

Cool

I don't know the right words that would suit them but I guess they were never my friends they just wanted to use me to achieve what they wanted and it worked for them. I learnt a good lesson never to help everyone cause some may never repay your kindness when you need help from them.

I think that shouldn't stop you from helping people. I believe there is always a reward for any good thing we do. Although it may not be today but tomorrow. Sometimes life turn around, it's not compulsory you get good returns from exact people you are kind to. You may help black person today and be neglected by him but get your reward from a white person. This world isn't stable so go on with your kindness without even waiting for a reward from them even when you need it and you will see how God/Allah will surprise you at the end.
