Hello readers
Hope you all are doing
well.
The truth is, everyone is
going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.
-Bob Marley
We all have a breaking
point in almost all things we do every day, the simple reason is that we all
are material beings and we tend to bend and bow and again straighten up.
When we try to discuss
about the human nature it too has an end of line, well what is it? Let us find
out.
How many of us can say that
we are totally selfless and are ready to prove it? Well in this generation I
think the answer is almost zero, except for some great souls, whom I won’t name
as you know that they live around you and always think for your well-being
before they sleep.
So everything will come
to halt at one point or we can say a stage that is when you are asked about selfishness.
Here the everything that I am refereeing is our normal behaviour.
Of course it is difficult
to be totally selfless, only great people could reach that stage which is
actually a honourable one.
What is that engulf the selflessness
person in you? The exact opposite yes
you are right selfishness! Let’s define a process here with a simple example.
John wants to eat an
apple, at the same time jack his brother happens to meet him and asks him if he
could share that apple with him, John does not hesitate and gladly offers him a
piece at the same time Jill friend of John happen to pass by and asks for a share.
John is now little bit
reluctant to share it with his friend and replies “I am sorry. This apple is
spoilt I was about to trash it” Jill leaves in disappointment. What happened
here was a classic case of selfishness.
When you take this example psychologically, we understand
that the subject lied about the apple when the person 2(Jill) asked him for the
share, now why did this happen?
We humans are the immediate descendants of the apes. Ok... let me say the mutant relatives of the apes. Our
ancestors followed the nomadic culture of gathering food and moving from one
place to another.
So when there is a
question of food, we always keep our share so that we don’t endanger our own lives!
Scientists have gathered
many such examples on the behaviour pattern
of humans in these weird ways, the most common place we can observe is when you’re
a standing in a queue, I am sure you will remember the quarrel when you saw someone
barging in by breaking the queue.
So when it comes to your
own life the selfishness in you or the simple 3 letter word comes to picture
that is “Ego” the strange part is we are
alive today psychologically only because of ego, because finally you live for
yourself because it gives you pleasure in doing things the way you want to do
it.
Let me make a suggestion
here, agreed we must be egoistic to certain extent as that is basic law how nature has designed
us, but keep your ego in the back seat your car of life strap it up safely and
drive your car with the co-passengers of selflessness, gratitude, and
compassion towards all creatures on this earth.
Let us all fix a goal
today to live in a world with more compassion towards each other, let go the ego at places where it
is not required and go freely enjoy the beautiful earth.
Stop taking things personally
when they are told to you and reacting like an ape without even thinking why it
was told. Your biological age will earn you respect if and only if it has correlation
with your psychological maturity.
Thanks a lot for your
time, have a great week ahead.
