Nobody can be born greedy or selfish, experience changes people to pull up this act and trust me, its not as it seems, because there are some people that deserve that selfish act from us because the way they view life is different from the way we see or understand life and i try my best to avoid people like that.
I am not a selfish person but there are sometimes i try to make selfish decisions towards everyone around me, just to make sure i achieve the best part of things. Sometimes the right decision we can make not just for ourselfs but for people around us to to be selfish, and when i say selfish it should not be limited to people around us but also to ourselfs. Goring up have made me understand that being selfish is the beat thing we can to for a perticular period of time in other to grow ourselfs to becoming a better person.
Making selfish decision towards my parents is something I do sometimes, not intentionally but it feels like it is something I need to do sometimes especially when I am trying to save up to get something. The only time I can not be selfish is when it involves a case of emergency, then I will have no choice but to intervene and make the right decision. If you are a money saver, you can't say you not selfish, because you will need to ignore so many casualties and problem around you just to achieve that little thing you want to achieve. Saving is really important but it cannot be done without a good follow-up and some selfish acts.
I don't intentionally act selfish but I need to not just for myself but for the future and when I talk about being selfish I don't just limit it to myself but also to people around me. It is best we understand each other. I am calm when it comes to making some hard decision even though I know it will hurt my feelings but in my mind, I know for sure it is for the good and not a bad thing. This was the way my dad trained me, to be strong and vigilant at all times, and that the focus is always on the future and not making people happy but still regret later in the future.
I remember being selfish towards my mom not because I wish to but I understood that those things she wanted to to buy are less important comprede to what we really needed to buy or get at that moment. I had to ignore every other distraction just to focus on my saving, it's hard to understand that there are limit to things we can do to some people we love, even though they are in tight position we just have to maintain our lane to compose ourselves.
