Selfish and Selflessness: Which should be more off or Less off?

estacyPosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago

Growing up, we were always advised not to be selfish.. Instead we should care more about others than yourself.

Even to the point it is said "Do to others what you want others to do to you".

But mehn, most People are wicked and selfish. Experiences has shown that the more you try to please others, the more they will take advantage of you and the more disappointed you will be when you expect them to return the favours even at little things.

So I say, complete selflessness is a death wish. Am I right?

A selfless individual will have many fake family and friends around him because at every point in time they have one or two things to benefit from you till the point when you have nothing. Then see how fast they all disappear.

Am not against being selfless, But seriously, you need to be more selfish in somethings.

Or find a point of equilibrium between Selflessness and selfishness for short and long run happiness and fulfillment.
