IS IT NORMAL TO BE SELFISH

-
Hello Everyone. We do know at times, we might tend to think about ourselves before even considering others. Most people even accept the quote that says "Think of yourself first and after you've made it, think of others". It's not wrong to think about yourself but all this is right to a certain extent. Some people see selfishness as a character which they have no intention of changing while some people tend to feel selfish when they've thought the situation over and realized they have no other choice. Selfishness might be good to some extent but it isn't a natural phenomenon. Being selfish is something we cultivate in us. It's something we can change if we want to. It could be used in good ways in order to help others indirectly or plan ahead. Unfortunately, some people tend to use it only for their own interest without putting anyone in mind. For example, you might have your budget for the month which you plan to use for your family.  Your friend in need of cash comes over to beg you for some money. Thinking of the situation you are in at that moment and realizing you have actually budgeted your income, you might actually refuse to give that person from your budget due to the fact that you have no intention in spoiling plans but might give the person from any other alternative source. This is appropraite. Although some other persons might not give from the budget or give from an available alternative source or even have an intention in giving at all. People could be selfish with various things aside money, they could be selfish with feelings, things or even help. Some people find it almost impossible to render help to those in need of it even though they know how much they need it. That's wrong. Our intention as humans is to make others happy the same way we wish to be made happy. Help others. You're not sure whose help you might need later on.
Thanks for reading. How do you see this article? Is there something you want us to know about selfishness?

 In one of my previous posts, I wrote an article on hidden signs which you may not be aware of that shows you are really emotionally drained. The signs were supposed to be focused on the common ways we feel everyday or in every occasion which we think is normal but it isn't. The post did very well to my delight. Knowing the reasons why you are emotionally drained in the first place is very important because to be frank some of the reasons aren't something we have control over. Some could be due to a childhood trauma, another could be due to the type of people we hang out with.  Here are common surprising reasons why you could be emotionally traumatized. 1) YOU HAD A REALLY TRAUMATIZING CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE: Any experience that alters the normal childhood experiences especially if negative could be traumatizing. We have no control over how we were raised or who raised us. We have no control over our experiences. We get to realize the mistakes we have made or realize what we cou...

 Emotional Trauma has never been a pleasant thing to occur to anyone at all. Most of the time, this is often triggered by ones past experiences, some sort of abuse which affects one mentally or in other cases loneliness. At times, we might be passing through this traumatic phase but try as much as possible to pretend it doesn't matter to us or bother us.

REASONS WHY NO ONE CAN BE PERFECTLY NORMAL

As human beings, we want a perfect life. We want everything to happen the way we want it, we don't tend to understand why things just can't go smoothly.  Life would be very very easy for us if things went really smoothly, in fact it would be so boring not to experience how difficult it can be challenging and we don't tend to have any experience to teach us or help us get emotionally stronger than we already are.  If a human being is given the opportunity to change whatever situation he is facing right now, there is a 99% chance if not 100 that the person would really love things to be easier than it already is.  Unfortunately such can't happen because everyone faces challenges every single time. Challenges they might not have planned for. This is the reason why we cannot judge anyone for what they are going through or what they tend to do because we aren't sure of what they are passing through every single moment of their lives.  We tend to judge people way too easi...
