A Selfless World For You and Me...

Thanks!

Hi Eric!

To tellyou honestly, I do not believe that we live for others. All our actions are self-motivated and our drives root back to what would make us feel happy, regardless of what it can bring.

All the sacrifices that we make, we do them for ourselves. No matter how hard they are, no matter how much pain it can bring us, we still do it knowing that we are making others happy, and with that, we achieve our own happiness.

So to answer your question, that kind of world will never happen. Each of us is the center of our own universes and we see things from our perspective, from our own point of view. There are things that may seem so selfless. Acts of sacrifice such as letting go of someone you love just to see him happy, sharing to others what you have left for yourself, taking others' responsibilities, etc. These things seem so much of a burden. But why do we still do them?

We are created to please ourselves and make us happy. The sacrifices that we make, the hardships that we go through for other people, we just don't realize it but we these things because no matter how difficult it may seem, it is what pleases us most.

Rizal died as a hero and he sacrificed his life for the country. Selfless, NO! No matter how hard it may seem to us, he did that because he feels good, or he would feel good, knowing that he died for the country. It made him happy knowing that he can make a difference.

Life is self-centered. All our actions, all our goals, they go back to what can make us happy. And there is nothing wrong with that. Those people who sacrifice a lot for others, it makes them happy knowing that they make others happy.

So, its actually, we live for ourselves through each other.

Hope I answered your query.
