on one hand, we are told that we have to contribute to the
society and also makes changes in the world and make people life's
better other than our own.
on another hand, we tend to spend most of our time doing on own
stuff, and making sure we are getting richer and having more fun in
our life.
whether selfishness is a bad word inherently is hard to
debate.
one could say that man is selfish.
therefore, we could see that there is this constant conflict of
ideas between being self centred, dealing with ur own things or
helping the world, society to be better by sacrificing your own
free time.
to be accurate, we are selfish at times and helpful at times. some
people in the society do help alot to others while most of us help
rarely.
i personally to its quite inevitable to be selfish. in fact, i
would think of changing the world, and think of how to solve
poverty, solve crimes and improve country economy with the final
aim that because it will help me in the end if i managed to make
the world a safer place.
in conclusion, being selfish correctly is the key, though this
seems somewhat a confusing statment i forsee.
