With
the world running through the wave of self-empowerment, where
freedom, love, and gratitude are the keys to the existence, how far
can we go being selfish? The society for that matter believes in a
more pragmatic approach towards helping self with the motive of
helping others, encouraging one to multitask, and that's where we all
trip.
It
might sound contradicting when on one hand we propagate on 'being
self' and on the other 'being selfish' becomes derogatory. Such a
commotion indeed! we are often left to choose when nothing needs to
be chosen. We give when we have nothing, we teach when we know
nothing. The strategy we incorporate to exist in harmony creates
discord. Apparently, it's more of the war we wage with ourselves than
with anybody else.
This is
when selfishness becomes crucial, people now are trying to give more
than what they have. We give love, advice when we ourselves aren't
filled up with, and in the end left with nothing. What we had given,
we never truly had for ourselves and the cycle of depression, hatred,
self-dislike, pain sets in. Well, it is more of a self-inflicting
pain the world's into than what is.
The
world might quote me the blasphemer, however being selfish is the new
selfless, selflessly loving one has become more important than the
self-inflicting nuisance. This reminds me of someone once said--
“Only a cup filled with water can overflow fullness”.
Peace
