Change and Selfishness

There are moments that we are stuck in a rut, and no matter what we do, we seem unable to get out of it.

We think that it is easy to just pick up the pieces, move on. Well, it isn’t.

There are moments when it is easier to just give up and give in, it is more easy not to do anything.

We preach, we have heard, we have been lectured on about change, how it is inevitable, how nothing is constant except change. What if you don’t to change or don’t want change to happen? Whatever it is, deciding not to change or change, there seems nothing we can do about it. It’s as if the cosmos wouldn’t care less. In the grand scheme of things, who really cares?

But we care, because for us, it’s about us. It may sound selfish, but that’s the reality of life. I don’t think there’s one person who is really unselfish or selfless. Come on, give me one name. If you give me a martyr’s name or a hero’s name, that person is selfish I’m telling you. Because he/she died without thinking about his/her family, did he/she consider the feelings of those left behind? They might have died because of the cause or principle, they might have changed the world, but still, they hurt the people that matters most to them, their family and loved ones. I am not belittling their sacrifices, my point is, it is human nature to be selfish. It’s a matter of degree and “execution.”

My point is, change will always happen, moving on is not optional because whether we go with the change or not, the whole spectrum of our life change, so if we stand still and allow the world to change, for the rest of the world, we changed by not moving on (you get what I mean?) and my last point is, everybody is selfish (to some degree) so whatever your intention may be, deep in your heart, the bottom line motivation is, selfishness. PS, I didn’t say it’s bad, it’s how you look at it.
