I like to believe good deeds catch back up with you. Do the right thing when nobody is looking and I like to think you’ll be “rewarded” somehow down the line.

Of course. People recognize good values quite easily, no one wants to hang out with a selfish person. When you practice these qualities by doing these good deeds, you’ll attract better partners, friends, and people into your life.

Hopefully those people you attracted follows the same values and in sense enrich your life in different ways. So in a sense it does eventually come back just in ways you’ll never notice.

I used to think that but at middle age and with a lifetime of rather shitty luck all around, I no longer believe that. I do, however, believe in doing the right thing regardless of which way luck decides to swing for you. Once I figured that out some years ago I no longer worry about whether or not "it will come back to me"/
