Selfishness

You know that voice, that sometimes creeps in to your head, and tells you to do something, because that is what would be best for you? Ignore it. Now, do the opposite.

This might sound like a rash decision to make, but I think for the most part, it wouldn't be that bad. Take this example; you are getting off the bus, the voice tells you to just hurry out in front of the other passengers to get off first, so you can get going with your day, so you jump out in front of the guy with the walker.

Stop. Rewind. Play.

You are getting off the bus, the voice tells you to hurry out in front of the other passengers, you tell the voice to shut it, and wait for the guy with the walker to get out, and you leave the bus right after him.

But what difference does it make really? The more good you do, the more good you want to do, and the easier it gets.

So let's kick selfishness' butt, and do not what is best for us, but what benefit others as well.
