Inherited Or...

Have you ever come across people who egotistically take all the possible advantages from you without even thinking whether it will affect you or not? People who suddenly change their behaviour just because they don't need you anymore? People who treat you as if you are their family member when you are needed and then ignore you when they go higher up?.

You don't have to love your enemy or to turn your other cheek but live so that you don't trouble others. Sometimes I get tired of some people around me who are so greedy to an extreme end. I do believe that healthy selfishness is important because if you want to live you have to love yourself but I am talking about the behaviour when people ask you to live in the way they prefer (may be cos they find a way in yours that helps them to live theirs as they want). Developing self-interest and doing what you want to do is not wrong but it isn't always benign.

Do people become selfish when they just follow whatever that strikes in their mind or after a thorough logical analysis and judgement on how something could benefit them..them only...no matter whether it has any bad impacts on the outer world? And they get the pleasure of ticking off their list of wishes by paying off with others' happiness and peace. Very obnoxious. Perhaps as a result of an inherited selfish-gene. Why do they yearn for the undeserved income.

It would be more meaningful to ask yourself; are you doing something that is a complete disregard to others rather than whether it benefits others or not. You don't have to primarily do something for the good of others but may be something that is not bad for others. Because whether your actions are egotistic or not is contingent not just depending on the action but on its impacts on others. Now how would you describe the term rational selfish? Is human nature inspired by making up reasons. Are humans evolved so that someone can drill down to any level to give their explanation as to how their action is different from selfishness and differentiate between altruism and selfishness based on their needs and views. Or if you wanna put it this way, does selfishness mean loving yourself more than you should?

My Quirks

I have been tagged by Priya and Aneesh.

So let me list my quirks...

  1. I hate chatting with friends on the phone endlessly. I don't mind gossiping for hours when sitting together but not over the phone. I just hate it for some reason.

  2. I don't mind re-writing something of any long if I had written a single word wrong/not neat--without realising the time I am wasting on it. I want no compensation! And I know its crazy!

  3. I like listening to music while I study and it has never been a disturbance to me!

  4. I take too long to decide on things. Sometimes its bad and sometimes good. But I won't come to a conclusion until am convinced. There are times when my family gets tired of this habit of mine esp with shopping. :)

  5. I swirl my hair when I think, watch films, while reading... A reflex action I would say. ;)

Yayy...I am done! and I shall not tag anyone (am I hearing thanks's?) as there were no rules from Priya or Aneesh. Thanks for that guys :)

Hi5

The first post of this month accounts for some ranting on Hi5. My Hi5 profile has been in idle for a few months. I normally ignore friend-requests from unknown people hence I delete the request mails I get from Hi5 without even opening or reading them. Today I signed into my Hi5 and realised that there was a profile message sent to everyone in my contact list yesterday- from me. (Thanks to a friend who infromed me) But I didn't even go to my profile yesterday! Stupid Spams!
And there had been a few friends who hardly view my profile have checked it out after receiving that comment..drat! Then I had to send everyone a message saying that I didn't send it and resquesting them to delete. Plus a status message as well. Arrrgh! Hi5 maaaaaan......**Sigh** Thinking of removing it!

NB: If you are in my Hi5 and reading this, could you please delete those pictures that had been sent to your profile comments. Thanks a lot!

New season

 I cannot believe I made it back in here for the second time this year.  My new baby is playing/about to cry sort of state in the background...
