Ever felt unsure of the decision made?
Why the decision was made?
was it selfless or selfish?
In life, every day we make decisions and we try to convince our selves we took the right path, the right choice and we did it because we care. That our reasons are altruist, that our concern real and that what we wanted was the well being of others or ourselves, that we are good and honest. Then deep down we take a minute to think and wonder “was that my real reason or an excuse”, like helping someone, you can convince yourself you did it to help the person but even that can be the excuse, not the real reason… because the real reason you hide even from yourself. Can it be something else, can it be to be recognize, for love or the need of something in exchange?
In that minute when our doing is put to the question, when we wonder… it is then when we find out what we really wanted or why we did it. I am not saying there arent selfless act, but are they really 100% selfless?
In life, everyday we make decision and I try to be selfless but I cant take out of my mind the question of how selfless my actions really were or how selfish they are. Do I do it for me or for the person?
Convincing ourselves, trying to lie in the end have you ever wonder what the real reason was?
Was it really selfless?
