Sometimes people can’t help but
be selfish. Maybe it’s a part of human nature itself. Maybe it’s the devil’s
way in bringing us to his side. Nevertheless, most human beings are selfish in
nature, thinking mostly of their comfort; always trying to live inside a
perfect bubble of comfort and security.
If humans are selfish, how do you
rationalize these bouts of kindness we continue to see every day? Are they
trying to help other people out of personal gain? Or are they trying to appear
charitable, it is deemed appropriate by many? I've read an article stating
that helping others makes one feel good about themselves since it releases a
hormone called cortisol. Bottom line is still the same –
people help other people because of self-satisfaction.
I admit I am cynical but looking
around us who wouldn't be. People are killing other people out of anger and
rage. Politicians are corrupting the masses to maintain their luxurious living.
The church which preaches kindness and honesty is full of scandals. People are
robbing other people in order to survive in this highly materialistic world. Selfishness is inevitable; it is part of life.
