Nope I expect a thank you acknowledging it. Otherwise your taking it for granted.

It depends. Certainly not an award, but simple appreciation goes a really long way. In some instances, as in a good deed done for a stranger, I can be doing it anonymously, in which no thanks can be given. I’ve been in the position of doing (many) serial good deeds for someone who is unappreciative, and I lose my desire. I’m also in the position at the moment of doing a huge good deed (regular child care, meal prep, etc. at no charge) and I’ve gotta say, show some appreciation! A simple (daily) sincere thank you is all it takes to make it worthwhile.

would I expect any kind of remuneration for a good deed. Being of the belief that no external force guides or intervenes in our lives. I have the belief as it were that when possible we should help other whenever possible. Non theistically speaking what comes around goes around. And hopefully if at some point we needed help someone would do the same for us. And in providing help I of course have been burned a few times. Yet I still continue on as I truly think there are more good people than not.
