Perhaps this is the high time for me to unveil all my talent and go on to produce something really extraordinary, just to extract some tears of attention out of so much hectic and messed up minds of idiots around me, who seem to have given up--in fact lost their power of recognizing the best (Of course me, an easy decision this should be for those who have some brains) out of the heap of “just PEOPLE”. Getting into a mindset that has actually implied “real invaluableness” of pure sincerity I guess. May be there is some manufacturing problem and people like me (who are thought to have “capacitors in his heart and transistors and diodes in his brain”) are the only solution. May be this is the time for those capacitors to discharge and give some devastating shocks to those mentioned. May be a pleading statement is pleading to be made by somebody just to remind all the inevitability without me ‘of course’. May be ignoring me is the only weapon they can use to keep their discontinuities veiled. May be I have been a bit too unjust not to mention myself enough (I guess I’ll be murdered soon after somebody reads this).
Then suddenly I heard something, the system was beginning to change. It was like hearing the ice breaking up at the end of winter in a lake. Creak, creak, crash! The need was so big, the gap so huge, the opportunity to learn right before people's eyes. When do systems begin to change? When entrepreneurs decide it's time? This was still the hot question demanding some lively discussion. I didn’t do anything different, just what I have been up to since I discovered senses. Then what induced it?
Logicians have but ill defined
As rational the human mind.
Logic, they say, belongs to man,
But let them prove it if they can.
Then came the blazing answer:
“Each one of us lives in an individual body. As a result, a person's central focus and point of reference is him or her self. Our physical separateness from other people perhaps makes us inevitably selfish in the broad sense of the word: we want to meet our needs and find satisfaction with our lives. We often do things for our own benefit that can be labeled selfish because we are doing them with ourselves in mind.”
With a bit more of justifications:
“But this kind of selfishness is not inherently wrong or bad for society. In fact, many times when we take part in an action for our own benefit, it also helps other people.”
And a slap to add just a little bit more:
“But you yourself have been very selfish, begging for attention for whom to get comfort and pleasure? So what if You got the attention you desired and we got Our objective completed.”
This served to uncover a fact of life on me.
“As an individual I am only a small part of a larger body of people, I think each of us has the important ability to make an effort to show kindness, to consider other people's needs, and try our best to act in ways that benefit as many people, INCLUDING OURSELVES, as possible. ”
Perhaps late but finally I had solved another big problem for many (I would love to say, now).
