No, I am not here to complain about anything specific or blame anyone in my life. No, I am not here to seek hatred on any or every person in this world. I am simply here to talk about something on my mind and I believe this is a great community to discuss this.
Today, I came to the crushing realisation of the truth, everyone is here for themselves. This may seem really obvious to most people, maybe until now I may have just been incredibly naive but this factor is so upsetting. I am curious if anyone is able to give me any insight in this matter.
I am still at the very early chapters in my life (at least I hope I will be able to live a very long fulfilling life) and I have already met an insane amount of different people who all have the same objective in life, to do what is best for themselves.
How do we define that a person is 'good', or even has a 'good heart' when they are just looking out for themselves? Does enough justification clear a conscience from a past mistake or even a repeated mistake, despite knowing or not knowing it was harmful at the time? Either way, how far does this person have to reach to return to this possible mythical state as people like to refer to as a 'good person'?
Take a minute, have a think about everyone you have had an encounter with. Haven't they just proceeded to make decisions based on what will purely benefit them?
You will never come across a person in your life who wants to help you, without wanting to receive anything directly in return, well at least not consciously anyway. There is always something gained in any situation of helping a person, ignoring the obvious common scenario of a reward of money or even an IOU. The helper may gain themselves a respectable perspective for themselves from others and this may be possibly unintentionally or unknowingly. They might want to manipulate the other person by putting themselves in a position of power. This helper may even dedicate their life to the single purpose of helping people and realistically, this person would volunteer countless hours of their life which they may never receive recognition for. This is the type of person who is considered by our society to be a 'good person' and 'selfless'. Never the less, these people all have one large factor in common, they are purely benefiting themselves because of the factor is makes them happy. By doing these things, the helper is biologically stimulated if you will and gives the person the mental state for however long of satisfaction and possible fullfillment.
In no way am I discouraging anyone from helping anyone else. Help is essential and required by everyone and everything to ever exist. Please go out and help and support everyone you can.
Personally, I attempt to live and think in a positive manner, take the best out of every situation, help who ever I can along the way and I wish everyone else shared this perspective but I understand we live in the real world. This will definitely sound hypocritical but just if you were curious or have even read this far, my goals in life aren't even based to help others. I am confessing to my biological selfishness and are just as guilty as everyone else on this planet. It would be ridiculous if I blamed others for something that I am also responsible for myself. My objectives in life are actually based solely on doing what is best for myself, wanting to achieve everything I can dream, living life without limits or even rules. As cheesy and cliche as it sounds, I plan on being completely fulfilled with all aspects of my life and will admittingly do everything in my power to achieve this.
