SELFISHNESS.Many a times we do something that is selfish, we can't help it; it's just human nature. Everyone has been selfish in a particular part of their lives, be it you, or me. Are you brave enough to say that you've not been selfish throughout the whole of your live? I guess no one would ever be. People who are selfish can choose not to be, so long if that is their desire. You and I choose what we want to be, Our dreams and aspirations, our hopes and our future. Being selfish just paints an ugly portrait of one. Selfishness is not a virtue ti possess. In fact, it's like a demon inside you, A devil, waiting in ambush to attack, when it found it's victim. Our acts of selfishness can harm people, and most of the times, we ourselves are unaware of this fact. We can overcome our selfish side by making an effort. When there's a will, there's a way. With determination, we can overrule anything. Instead of carrying on being selfish and harming other people, why not stop and think and reflect about what you're doing. Maybe then you'll realise that what you're doing is wrong. We can make amendments to the mistakes that we've made. But some mistakes we made, knowingly or unknowingly, may be permanant. By offering a seat when taking the public transport or just simply picking up someone esle's litter isin't a job that requires a huge effort. It's just a matter of willingness, or rather, selfishness. It takes a great deal of effort to be unselfish all the time. We are humans, and we make mistakes too. But how often are we willing to admit our mistakes and start anew? Being selfish is about thinking only about yourself, and not sparing a thought for others. This plainly shows that other peoples' suffering isn't of any significance to you. Concerning only about your own problems and needs and not others is being selfish. Selfishness is part of a ruthless act. Before thinking about yourselves, we should spare a thought for others too. Put ourselves in others' shoes. How would you feel if one would treat you in the way you treated him/her? Would you feel happy? Being unselfish isn't only about gratitude. It is from the bottom of our hearts. Even with a simple thank you from the bottom of one's heart, showing their absolute sincerity and gratitude, that is already more than enough. * If you have read until here, I really must commend you on your will power.
