Altruism, why is it so hard to find it nowadays? Altruism, the opposite of egoism, the unselfish concern for the welfare of others, basically thinking about the others before thinking about yourself. On our modern society it's a rare concern, people tend to worry first for what's best for them before thinking about it's neighbor, not caring about what other people would feel but instead taking advantage of someone even for benefits leading it to a fake friendship. It's a shame that many people think that way, I myself am selfless, not that I'm best than anyone, but I do care about the others more than I care about myself, what wonderful experiences could make me more happy than a face that was once sad but now sparkles in happiness? When I think about that my help made someone happier or even gained the hope that was lost I smile. There is no point on having everything you could possibly imagine and not having someone to share it with you, a friend, a family member, or even someone you truly love, Life is about experiences that we have and share, good or bad, we need to have them, otherwise how can we improve as human beings? Last but not least is the primordial force in this universe called love, once you fulfil the needs of someone that you didn't necessarily have to help, you show that we can still love without wanting something back, just the pure feeling of love and compassion to the other, this is God's wonderful gift, let's do our best to never lose it, and always love like there was no tomorrow, in that way, being selfless is easy.
