Selfish

Ignoring the other people's feelings and claiming that they are doing that for them more than they do it for themselves, that is what I call Selfish.

I have never been selfish in my life. I take less and give more. I take the blame and accept the bad part to be on me instead of blaming.

My reactions cannot be expected because me, myself. I cannot expect them and I keep it this way. I never changed myself for any reason and I was always told when I ask people what can I do for them "Stay as you are".

I stay

as I am

then they leave, as usual.

Boo!!!

Don’t be so serious to read that. It’s only a piece of writing of my brother in the past. Believe it or not, he is the laziest person in this world but still the dearest person to me. He was telling me about selfish after I blamed him for being weak. I was in rage at that time because again and again he was treated badly, left behind after “being used” by his friends. The words he has said to me at that time I wrote it above, made me speechless. 

We simply take selfish as same as egoist, focus on personal interest only. Ignore people just like they are not exist. There will be a time when this selfish person need to work with others and when this happens, he/she just do things for his/her own benefit and somehow use others as device to reach the goal. See how bad the meaning of selfish is. We don’t like it when someone calls us selfish without realize sometimes we can be selfish for real. Notice my bro first sentence, ignoring people’s feeling and claiming they do it for them.

Let me close this blog with questions for you, Have you ever done something that in your opinion you do it for someone’s pleasure? If yes and it ended well, you are not selfish then, congrats!! Hehe…

Have a good day!

  • Somehow I agree with you Maya. Get hurt by others is not good idea, but by this we will be a better person that understand other's feeling.
  • Sometimes ignoring someone's feeling doesn't mean you're selfish, in my case sometimes I do this to avoid the pain and get hurt.
  • Thank you, EXpector. you considerate it very well. He is more mature now.

  • I hope your brother will understand what you said to him. You sound to be such a nice sister. 

    I think I happen to be considerate - I don't want to hurt anybody.
