It's second nature. I think evolution made us this way because then we are really determined to get enough food and pass on our genes. It helped us survive but today it causes a lot of suffering.
85% of the world's wealth is owned by 10% of the world's population, and 50% of the world's population owns 1% of the world's wealth. The 10% should share but they are too selfish. Hence billions suffer endlessly. Selfishness is the devil.
Ya all the time doesn't everyone?
yes, but that's 100% human
Yeah.
Yes, but not in that way.
I'm too worried about getting hurt to let people love me.
Only during dessert.
gotta look out for number 1
If you feel selfish then help the homeless or do something good.
Oh yes and most of the time I don't really mind
Of course!!! It's really bad though...I'm working on it...
Yes, examples like yours make me feel ashamed too.
i feel i need to be more selfish
Yep. I try to give back cuz i'm pretty blessed to have as much as i do.
Yes but then be selfless or get over it
Yes.
And if someone doesn't, then they must be an android.
yes, I do feel selfish at times. we only human...
well, I do, but I don't feel it so as often as I use to be.
I start learn Buddhism this few years and this question often pop in my head but I realized to a certain point, we have to eat and drink so when we see other suffer, we should be more thankful and appreicative of what we have. and sure not to be more wasteful. however, My goal is to make difference in the worlds, well not become a huge leader, just do my best to make difference no matter big or small as long it is my best.
so sometimes I feel I only donate not as much money when I could donate more, I talk my Buddhist friend, and I think now I come to a conclusion, to a point I need to live a basic life. not wasteful but basic, but I would continue to donate and to help out as much as I can, no matter money or physically. and money come and money goes, althought it is great to give as much as I can, but I still need to save some for later. so I am trying to balance in between that..
it is not easy because I feel and wish I can do more.
Yes I keep making excuses for why i can't let people in.
Sometimes I do
Who are you???????????
Yes, primarily in the shower, but it doesn't last long.
are U high?
yeah reimds me of tartar sauce
well, sometimes, i think that's human nature.
But i tend to think of others before myself, but there are times where i have had said or done something that made me feel selfish, so i had to adjust my attitude.
Like recently, some of my 'friends' have been doing stupid stuff, thinking they're clever, and playing me, ROFL so, knowing this, i'm having fun with it, but then i think about it, and i feel bad. I'll probably just cut off all contact with them, that may solve the problem. ?
yes
yeah many times
all the time probably because i am selfish
