Hey all,
I never realized this before till now, but really when a person is selfish, it only serves to put everyone else out. Its like shock waves, when one person acts selfishly, they cause others to suffer at their expense.
Heres an example, well, say like your sister has a baby. She decides she doesnt want to take care of the baby because she wants to party all the time, and not take responsibility for what she did (having the baby). So she takes the baby, and puts it on her mother, so in her selfishness her mother is put out. Not only is her mother put out, you (her sister) start to get resentful because your mother is spending all her time with your sister's baby, and so because of your sister's selfishness, you and your mom lose out some and have to suffer. See what Im illustrating here? The like "shock wave" effect that selfishness has. It effects everyone else around the selfish person, and sooner or later its going to come right back to them.
However the only true way to really recieve and be satisfied by getting is to really be unselfish. When you are unselfish, and the other person is unselfish, you both give and in giving each get what the other needs.
Im not sure I illustrated this the best, but feel free to add comments.
