Be Selfish, Always.

"Because everyone else is selfish."

I have been repeating this phrase to myself over and over again because people around me take no hesitation to prove that right, even my dear loved ones.

But i had learnt from this phrase. No, it's not exactly the ugly side of homo sapiens but something more in-depth. (As far as you are concern, i am not that shallow.)

There are very few people who can make me feel vulnerable and minute. One of the very important person in my life made me understand the greater meaning behind that phrase,"Be Selfish, Always.". He's the only person who gave me incessant bouts of disappointments (unfortunately) that ultimately, i learnt something from it. The greater meaning behind that phrase is

"Do things for others at the expense of your own happiness."

Two weeks ago, i helped a stranger move her groceries into the lift despite the fact that she had gave me the wrong directions.

Last week, i offered to share my umbrella with a stranger on the long stretch of road to school.

I am selfishly happy.
