A Concept To Grasp

As people in today's society we are often occupied within our lives, whether it may be in our schools, jobs, etc. As it is human nature we are constantly concerned about ourselves, and our own self- importance, resulting to our selfishness. Despite the fact that it may be human nature, we as a whole need to battle this issue. As the matter of selfishness, consequently lowers one's individual status. Bringing out unpleasant characteristics within ourselves, such as: egoism, narcissism, conceitedness, and vanity.

However, it is our choice as a whole, whether we choose to battle this issue or not. For this battle to begin, one must first understand the benefits of being humble. Many have the idea that being humble makes them weak. Humility is what makes one a loving, compassionate, stronger, and successful individual. Moreover, humility should be practiced by all, as there is always room to improve ourselves.

Furthermore, we need to learn to put others before ourselves. Our love for self-importance, often dims the light within others. Additionally, leading us to being neglectful of others needs, as well as their sufferings. One thing we should grasp, is that everything is not always about ourselves. There are often times many who die from hunger, while we sleep with a full stomach every night, constantly being forgetful of others' sufferings.

Lastly, we should strive to abstain from selfishness, and let our compassion for others gleam all around us, making us a humble society.
