Selfishness and sadism are our eternal enemies..


We do so many things which are or no particular benefit for ourselves in any way, just because such actions can cause difficulties or discomfort to others..
and we seem to derive pleasure out of other's woes.. 

Yes,, I am sure and everyone must be sure that I cannot increase my happiness by seeing or making someone else suffer..
But I fail to understand it.. 

Then selfishnes..
We just want all that is good or nice to be under our control and possession..
Our professed love for the kin and claim of magnanimity in friendship are all mostly stage-managed..
Usually we look for the toast which is buttered thick.. 

But selfishness is silly..
We cannot earn and possess things beyond certain limits..
We cannot enjoy even the best things without limits..
We cannot swallow fifty Tirupathi laddus in one sitting
and we cannot hoard those laddus for fifty days too.. 

We have to stifle or if possible even finish off these two enemies, if we expect even a little peace of mind and a little happiness in real terms. 

I am asking myself..
"why do not you see reason.. even if it is too late in the day?"
