Are human beings naturally borned to be selfish? Or are we living in a world where only our own needs come first. We put ourselves before others. I can say that so far in my entire life, i really haven't seen someone who could ALWAYS put others before himself. It's only a matter of how selfish the person is, i.e. the extent of a tolerable standard or to the extreme where it irks people. Some little actions can tell how selfish the person is.

Selfish-ness doesn't come with age at all. However young/old a person may be, it's their character. I've seen kids so young that's so self-sacrificing and giving to others, and yet, i've also seen adults who portray such selfish actions. Is it possible to change someone? I personally think it's very very hard. It's sorta inbuilt in our 'natural human instincts' to care for ourselves before sparing a thought for others. Or perhaps, somewhere in this beautiful place, the influence and culture may change someone's entire perspective and way of living and treating others and oneself.

I always have such big dreams of seeing a more beautiful and peaceful world... yet... it's a highly impossible one. Someday, somehow, somewhere, we might all realise that it's possible... Not.

Is it even possible?


Actually, yes...it is possible. We just have to look at everyone's good points and forgive their flaws, everyone will always be shining, and the world will be so much more beautiful then.
Irony...
