Learn to be selfish!
Imagine, you are swimming in the sea. You can swim well, but the sea currents are too high and its difficult.... There is another person near you who who cant swim well, is in a much more difficult situation than you and is almost drowning to death. You are sure that you can save yourself by swimming towards shore. You are not sure if you can help the person who is drowning to reach shore along with you, but if you leave him where he is now, he will certainly die because there is nobody around who could save him. now, what are you supposed to do...?
# If you decide to leave him alone and you reach shore safe, is it considered to be an act of selfishness?
# Don't you have to save yourself before you could save others?
# Is it a good idea to drown along with him?
# When you yourself are drowning, how can you help someone else?
# Do you have to carry the guilt with you, because you din't risk your life to save him?
# Isn't it the other person's fault that he dint learn to swim in sea waters, to save himself?
I really don't understand where the line between selfishness and helpfulness really lies?
If you help someone and as a result which you fail to reach your destination, would you feel good for what you have done to yourself?
Isn't it better to stand responsible for your own actions and help yourself rather than trying to help others ?
After a deep thought, I feel it would be perfect if every one helps himself in this world. Live and die only for your own actions deeds and thoughts, rather than looking up to someone else for help!
