ISN’T LOVE SELFISH?
Matter of fact…aren’t we all?
See…I just think that we go through life looking for that source of happiness…that thing that would make us so happy…as if we were on a permanent cocaine trip. Understand me…I’m not saying its wrong to always want to be happy…but treating every human being that comes your way like he/she owes you happiness is overkill. But oddly…that’s exactly what we do!
We have friends…and we try to mould them to what we think they should be…or what we imagine them to be…instead of accepting them just the way they are. I remember that ‘worldwide’ hit sitcom ‘Friends’…the payoff line was ‘Friends…people who know you for who you are…but like you anyway’. Don’t we think the greatest gift we could give anyone is…acceptance?
An internet joke reads…”If we are here to help others…what are the others here for?” Sadly…that’s subconsciously our mind states…forgetting that we are all ‘others’ to other people…so if I am here to help others…others are definitely here to help me!
And what’s more alarming…we get into relationships…basically because of ‘the way the person makes us feel’…not actually because we want to share something with someone else…though that may come along the way sometimes. We all have our ‘little notes’ in which we have extensively written down what we think/want our ideal spouse to be like…and very few ones out of us bother to think about what we have to offer this ‘perfect’ person…most don’t even realise they have absolutely nothing to offer…because they have no sense of self!
I want a girl…because she makes me feel like a man…she doesn’t not give me stress and issues…she doesn’t call me 10000000000000000 times a day because she’s insecure…and keeps asking me if I love her…she’s independent…but still wants me because…I am the man. She doesn’t stress my cheques…because she can do for herself. But honestly…do I make her feel like a woman…a queen…the only type of woman ‘good enough’ for me? Do I want to do for her…really do? Do I take time out of no time to call her…just to check up on her? Do I support her dreams…do I hold her down the way she deserves to be held down…as my QUEEN deserves to be?
I just think we should get out of our selves more…and see the world…see the people in it as other humans who have a whole lot to give as well as receive…and stop thinking only on what we want.
“Think Of What You Can Do For Humanity…Not What Humanity Can Do For You.” That’s what I think anyway…
Do you?
