Why are we so selfish?
Do we really love our neighbor? The first thing I want to say... This isn't a "one size fits all" opinion about man. There are a LOT of kind people out there in the world that do a lot for their fellow man. The second thing I want to say... When I say "man", I don't mean a male, I mean mankind, humans, homo sapiens. Now, on to the thoughts that weigh heavy on my heart. Why are we so selfish? Why do we think instant gratification, being the best (or the worst), being better than the Jones's, and all those other cliches are going to bring us happiness? We live in a very self serving world and we are encouraged by the mainstream media and many of the rich and famous to take care of ourselves first and worry about everyone else never again. But look around... tell me that it's a happy world around us? We're not made to be selfish. Our human nature tells us it's the right thing to do, but it does not lead to internal joy and peace.
