Please don’t be selfish

Always impressed with the human mindset. I often meet those who do not realize that they are selfish and only care about their interests. They do not care about other people but as long as their needs are met then everything is under control.

I really don’t get it if they are treated like that by other people, they get angry and feel offended because of it. They assume that they are not appreciated by others, other people don’t respect the, they are considered to be treated carelessly by others.

Have they never introspected themselves? Don’t they ever try to understand why they are being treated like that? Why don’t they try to stop blaming other people? Maybe the mistakes are not made by other people but by themselves. Have they never understood the consequences of their treatment of others can cause deep trauma for others?

I have this experience. I’ve seen that someone feels that she hasn’t done anything bad and she feels that everything she does is on track and she feels that she is the one who is most right. She actually never realized that all her actions caused a deep trauma for someone.

Because of her, that person was experienced that trauma since childhood and after that person grew up, that trauma never stopped. At first this person never figured that it was trauma. Gradually everything started to drive her crazy.

Nobody ever noticed it because she hid it. Everyone just sees she as a obedient child, kind but introverted person. No one ever knew that when she was alone all these thoughts drove her crazy. She told me that all the trauma she had endured to this day haunted her. All of that made her freaked out.

The craziest thing is that the person who traumatized her never realized that her treatment had a bad influence on other people. She still thinks that everyone is always strong and can definitely go through all that and it’s just a trivial thing.

I am very sad to know that someone has to go through this just because of someone else’s stupidity. Do not be mean or cruel to others.

Don’t assume they are all strong because not everyone is strong enough to face problems in life. Also don’t judge without understanding someone’s past because you won’t know your treatment might hurt them.

They never want all that, they also want to be able to recover from it and it’s not an easy thing. It’s not that they don’t want to, but they probably don’t know how to solve the problem without making other people judge them badly. Don’t be selfish because you don’t live in this world alone.

If you still need the help of others then learn to understand other people and learn to treat them well. There’s nothing wrong with doing good things even if it’s small because later the kindness, the good things that you make will come back to you when you need it.

If they hurt you, just let it go then God will replace it with another good thing that you may never expect. I believe karma does exists. Bad doesn’t mean bad and good doesn’t always mean good. Please don’t be selfish, because you can hurt someone with your treatment.
