Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that being nice doesn't mean you have to suffer because of it. Sometimes you want to be a great help to other ponies, but you ended up sacreficing yourself or being used.
I had a teacher who is known for her wisdom and assertiveness. She told me a story when a young woman came to her house and asked for charity money for orphans. She refused to give any money, but she still wanted to help by donating food and paying for the school fee although I knew she wasn't a rich mare either. However, the young woman rejected the donation and keep forcing her to donate some bits. She even showed my teacher some 'important' papers. My teached didn't donate anything in the end. Not long after that, the young woman's cover was blown. She was indeed running an orphanage, but instead of caring for the fillies and colts, she used the bits for her own benefits. She neglected the orphanage so ponies who came to visit the orphanage would feel bad and donated. The orphanage was finally closed and the orphans were moved to a better place.
From this, I learned not just to be nice, but be smart. We must evaluate before helping others and still try our best to help, just in a better way.
Yours truly,
Sugar Morning

The idea of this kind of thing happening in an orphanage didn't cross my mind when thinking up where my main protagonist lived when his parents died. I will still to having the orphanage he was in as a good place but later maybe later he will stop someone like the teacher or whoever was the bad one ... View More
