Selfishness

Sorry, I have to comment on some people and their continued sad, pathetic excuses for treating their friends like shit. This has nothing to do with those whom I have met in the D/s community or online. I have had encounters over the last couple of days with people from my past who assume it is ok to take advantage of a good friend, a father, or a person in general. Most people these days, unless a single mother, soldier, or giving person have no idea how to give up what they need in order to please others. This pleasure is not of a sexual nature. It is a caring and kindness that comes with trusting others to return the sentiments to yourself. I have no idea how to be selfish. My concern for myself is only generated so that I may give to others. Shouldn't this be returned. I can't be alone in thinking that what is given is far more rewarding than those feelings that only take. Life is not measured in we have, but what we give. Now, I am not talking about want to succeed, education, or wanting better for your family. I am talking about kindness, taking time to thank people, or just doing something that doesn't require a "whats in it for me." Take time to look around at what you have. Stop what the fuck you're doing and think of others. People are capable of such good. Some just amaze me at what depths they will go to act like complete selfish shitheads. We are not measure by our accumulations or accolades, but by the smallest of tokens and acts of kindness we bestowe upon those in our lives. Wake up everyone, what you have is a hell of a lot more important than what you want!
