Selfishness…
Now that I’m thinking about actions… lets speak openly… What
do you think about this phrase…. “there is nothing you will do in your life
that does not benefit yourself” is it true or false? Initially you may think
its true but think about it. Why do you go to school? Because your parents make
you? Well you choose to go to school because you think going to school is
better for yourself than arguing with your parents or getting in trouble. Oh you
the rebellious type and bail on school? Well then you think it is more in your
benefit not to go to school than it is and would rather take crappy grades and
an argument with the parentals…
Well that was easy… let’s take it up a notch. You’re 27,
have a beautiful family. Five year old Jimmy runs out to the street after a
grasshopper a car comes flying down the street and is oblivious to your child
in the road. You have two options run and push Jimmy out of the way and get hit
by the car or watch helplessly as Jimmy gets run over… how could throwing down
your life for your children be selfish? Well why would you put your life down
for your child? You love him. So why is this selfish? Or in better words to
prove my point, how does putting your life down benefit you? Well you may think
that the guilt of not doing anything to prevent your child’s is too powerful
and would ruin your life forever if you didn’t jump in front. Could you imagine
living a life knowing you could have saved your son but sat and watched him die
instead? Awful, awful right?
Lets have a discussion in the comment box. Try to think of a
truly selfLESS action that benefits someone else and not you at all… and before
you say giving money to charity, think about it… why do you give money to
charity? Avoidance of guilt, pleasure in helping others, peace of mind, I mean all these
things are ways that benefit ourselves… think about it realll hard folks J
Food for thought homies
