Observations :
- Gandhiji was a great freedom fighter .
- Paris Hilton is a very active socialite.
- Mother Teresa did a lot of social work .
- My roomie , Dhiresh is very good at business matters .
- Gandhiji did what he did because he wouldn't have been happier doing anything else .
- Paris Hilton wants to become more and more famous .
- Mother Teresa wanted to change the world into a better place as much as she could .
- Dhiru likes to read about businesses , stock market , etc .
Conclusion :
EVERYONE IS SELFISH . PERIOD .
Gandhiji , Mother Teresa , Paris Hilton , my roomie , you , me , everyone do what we do because we want to do it for ourselves . Say , we give 10 rupees to a begger . We do it more to satisfy our conscience rather than to feed the beggar . The fact that these two points are connected is a different matter to be discussed somewhere else . Anyways , my point is every single action in this world can be deconstructed to signify an act of selfishness .
Added After a few days of posting this , the following is what my bro had to say on this:
"This deconstruction is pointless. I could counter it with - there are different kinds of selfishness. The selfish being that hurts a heart. A selfish act that causes negligible pain or damage. A selfish person who massacres millions of people. A selfish person who feeds a hungry person. A 'selfish' person who has such a profound effect on humanity that it changes the very perception of life. Therefore, there are two extremes and between those lie infinite degrees of selfishness to choose from."

My dear bro,
This deconstruction is pointless. I could counter it with - there are different kinds of selfishness. The selfish being that hurts a heart. A selfish act that causes negligible pain or damage. A selfish person who massacres millions of people. A selfish person who feeds a hungry person. A 'selfish' person who has such a profound effect on humanity that it changes the very perception of life. Therefore, there are two extremes and between those lie infinite degrees of selfishness to choose from.
well, i never said all acts of selfishness are of the same degree or same kind either...i just said 'an act of selfishness'...thats it...
it was a nice comment though.
There is nothing wrong in one of the selfishness you are talking about. Gandhi and Theresa did what they did is because they identified themselves with every other being. They saw that every being on earth is the manifestation of the same energy that created them. So, this way you wish for others what you wish for you. This is a healthy selfishness and the world will be a better place if everyone practices this.
The other one is "Naaan thaan" "yennakku thaan" this selfishness not only limits oneself into a small being but also creates a lot of hard feelings which does not exist in reality. One spins a web of unrealistic thoughts and suffocates oneself.. nothing can be done about that.. after all eve ate the god damn apple!
Anyway, nice observation!
