Focus of thought must occasionally be self centered. Even the best of us can’t avoid being motivated by personal desire. The question is that of frequency. How much time and effort do we spend thinking about the wellbeing of others?
A cynic believes most people focus and act on their own self interest. They are generally suspicious of what motivates human behavior.
Honestly... it is difficult for me not to be cynical. I have become overwhelmed by public corruption.
I recently watched a video about criminal activity in the US government. The resulting question was ‘why’ would people live without any evidence of integrity. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
‘Honesty’ has become a situational ethic. There are few people who can speak the ‘plain truth’. Therefore, only partial disclosure is allowed.
The USA is ‘broke’. We can never repay our debts. These truths will never be disclosed by the office of the President.
Why do we expect our leaders to behave badly? Has everyone become a cynic?
Who lives a life dedicated to serving others without any regard for selfish motives? Don’t look at me! I am not Saint John.
I attempt to produce content that is beneficial to others. Observe...
Here is today’s beauty.
