I mean, what is he doing?
Assuming he's returning her slippers why not just hand them to her instead of leaning down like he's going to put them on?
Just seems like there are better examples of people doing "good" things than returning footwear.

If you cant do good things just try not to at least make things negative, not everything is a joke nor meant to be.

Plot twist he just stole those sandals

It is a good thing what this man did. I don't know there exists a codex of how to make slippers as a present or how to properly hand them over... Don't try to find a grain of salt in every lake... Or however this proverb goes :/

The world is full of good people that you can steal from and who won't fight back because that would make them "bad".

Is this a famous picture with some established story? Like I understand the message and I think it's uplifting and all but I don't understand what's going on in the picture.

What these motivational quotes never tell you is just how difficult “just be a good person” really is.
redthorne82 t1_izomck6 wrote
It's never the momentary things that are difficult, it's the end of the day/week/month/etc and you're just tired.
Behroopia t1_izondsg wrote
He was making a joke, jokes make people laugh which spreads happiness, relieves stress and helps us connect to each other. Being a good person doesn't mean you can't have a sense of humour.
TheSunshinator t1_izorqr2 wrote
Just be a good person. Finding another good person or not is irrelevant in deciding whether to be good or not. That being said, good people are an endangered species so... We definitely need more!

There are 0 good people on this planet. I only meet people who want something, people who want to hurt, people who want to manipulate. I don't believe even that those good people exist.

Being good isn't about getting anywhere. That's the point. It's doing it despite not getting benefits.

Great message, poorly phrased. If the world was indeed full of good people, you shouldn't have difficulty finding them.

I mean, those flip flops are terrible for posture and feet. Might be better off bare foot.
DemolitionsPanda t1_izqki04 wrote
That is the way!
It isn't as if she is being run by organised criminals as part of a begging ring. They won't just take the money. Or take the slippers, because she earn more in bare feet and rags.
The way you fix poor people is just giving them money!

Oh great, another platitude! /s
That's still underselling it, IMO. Being a good person will get you shit on, lied to, exploited, abused, falsely accused, and vilified by the majority of people, and can really put you in a major depression when you fully realize just how fucked up the world is. It's not for the weak and feeble minded.
Remember, the whole story of Jesus was about a man without sin, and he got crucified and murdered as a result. Now THAT really sums up what you're in for, and explains why there are so few people who can actually do it.
CSedu t1_izr28pz wrote
I've never seen it that way. I'm just nice and expect nothing in return, I seem to be doing fine.
Difficult-Type-1191 t1_izr2kvo wrote
I don't want the benefits but why people can't be good in return it's infuriating
merkwuerdig_liebe t1_izr9hfv wrote
Yeah, I'm afraid just being "nice" doesn't quite cut it, unfortunately.
Being a good person also entails standing up against evil and injustice, instead of just appeasing it. Remember, Jesus wasn't just a nice person, he spoke up against the religious leaders of his day and that's what ultimately landed him in hot water.

VicToro35 t1_izrvig1 wrote
It feels good to help others, but everyone will just get used to you helping them out and they soon take it for granted and start to milk you like a cow. But if you stand up for yourself, you will look like an ass…

Nah, it's very unclear. Could be the man offering her slippers and she's frustrated (hence facepalm) at him since she chose to walk bare-foot.
