Some Oh-So-Random thoughts

Selfishness has always been in the traits of Man but it saddens me when people, especially those close to you, generate a sense of apathy together with selfishness when dealing with matters in life. Global issues aside. If everybody were to care for each other and put themselves in other's shoes, the world will be a much more beautiful place. If the rich thinks about the poor and shares a little part of his wealth with the latter, because only most of the rich enjoys the fruits of the economic growth, maybe the poor will get to satisfy his hunger pangs, buy new clothes, etc. etc. But that will never happen because the modern world and its culture instilled the value, apathy, in the majority of Man. He does not care. Neither does he share.

This characteristic is also Man's vulnerability. It could be because of the above flaw in him that he neglects certain important aspects in life, for example, relationships. He would mention how important it is to only look out for oneself in the society and not care about others. Why should they and alas, what is the point? Everything, to them, seems or maybe even is, treated like a facade. And why does such a phenomenon occur? That is because Man is only concerned about his own survival (ever since the stone-age but only got worse in this modern era).

People, in general, do not really care about others' feelings. Once again, "What is the point?" they would ask. "I am not going to gain anything out of it, would I?" Yes, that is truly what I am talking about: Selfishness. It does not matter if they reject an outing that was painstakingly planned for they would rather stay at home and they would feel happier at home than at the party. But they would have never thought how the organizer would have felt, when they, for the last time replied, "What is the point?". They would have never thought how hard the organizer tried planning and coordinating the event. It might have just ruined the plans of the organizer when one selfish person just did not feel like going.

Then, if a selfish person were to read this piece of writing, he or she would reply, "What nonsense. What difference would 1 less person make to the party?" See? Point proven. They just wouldn't understand because, it does not and never will, strike them that appreciation and friendship are the issues here (hello-o!). There are many more other examples of such people and its impact on fragile relationships. Henceforth, we should appreciate the minority of generous and caring people left in this multi-faceted world.
