I have a problem with being the best i can be at studying, my career or anything. The reason is that i think i neglect my fellow man or people that are suffering and i think it maybe guilt that i have an oppurtunity to improve my life while a homeless man does not have as much of an opputrunity. Jesus always talks about the poor and entering the kingdom of heaven and He seems to not like people succeeding in improving themselves but rather improving other people. He always says love thy neighbour and what exactly does that mean? Do i have to look after my neighbour, do whatever they want, obey my neighbours wishes, put my intrests last? It doesnt sound fair to me but that is what i am lead to believe He is saying, especialy in Luke when he told the story of the good samiritan who helped a person on the side of the road while 2 other people passed him by. If i wanted i could spend everyday learning new things and constantly living life to the full but if i am not living for other people then all of these things are selfish. That leads me to the question what is selfishness? Of course its easy to believe every human is selfish but i was reading Macbeth and there were study notes at the back of the book, they said that in John Miltons poem Paradise Lost, he took satan and compared it to macbeth. Macbeth wanted to be king and great but used evil to get what he wanted but his consciousness did not let him go and we see that he is still human by feeling sorry for what he did but he still goes on to kill more people but temptation and security was his top priority. I had to relate to macbeth but then how can i of he is related to the devil in John Miltons poem? Please someone tell me that its ok to learn how to drive, be responsible for my own life and not care what other people think. Help!
