"It takes only the act and art of selflessness to gain
most of the things we want in life, you bring yourself closer to your blessings
unknowingly" -Dr.Psalmzy
Ser altruista simply means 'be altruistic'.
What does it mean to be altruistic?
From the dictionary's definition: it simply means to be
regardful of others; to be beneficent; to be
unselfish; to be humane; to be selfless.
Now you get the reason why the I quoted the first paragraph?
We are born neutral with no sense of selflessness or
selfishness but our interaction with our immediate environment changed us and
thus, we're infected with selfishness.
Gradually, we thought of the concept of the survival of the
fittest, thence, we want to be fit so as not to be thrown away making us not to
regard others (all we do is think of ourselves).
Life is more simpler when you don't think too much of your
own self, when our standard for making decisions is not based on our own self-interests
and when we don't have regard for our own self above other's well being.
I'll round up with this inspiring story which was shared
with me recently:
Lots of packages were delivered to a large number of people
and there was no arrangement to distribute the packages, thus, everyone had to
search for his own (individual names were printed on each package). You know
what it means for a thousand people to be searching for their different names
on all the packages at the same time.
But there was this particular man who devoted his time and
strength to pick one after the other and distribute the packages to others. And
there, just picking a few numbers, he found his own easily when others are
still there fighting to get theirs.
Selflessness brings us closer to achieving our goals. In
fact, respect is easily earned on the platform of selflessness.
Don't take others' well being for granted because of your
own interests, don't be selfish!!!
Welcome to a new day!!!
