Evil or Not

About 3 weeks ago, I heard from an anonymous scource that I was "evil" and "preyed on poor people".  I felt like I had been punched in the stomach.  I was numb of all feeling and my fragile self-esteem took a really big hit.  How could that be?  I take great pride in providing the cleanest most efficient  properties in town.  I answer service calls immediately.  I I feel like a mother to all of them, reminding them to cut their grass, pick up their trash, and if they cann't get to it, I do it for them.  I encourage them to be good neighbors. I brag on their children. I know stuff happens and people get behind for one reason or another.  If they are sincere; I will work with them, when they get behind,  There is a limit to how much I can do before it starts effecting my ability to pay my bills.  If I can not pay my bills, then I will not have a place for them to live.   Then who gets hurt?  We are all dependent on each other.   Kind of like the "circle of life".  What goes around comes around.

Having said all this, I realize that I am not "evil".   I help poor people by providing good clean housing.  And that I will NEVER be able to please everyone.!
