Selflessness

One of the nicest qualities of a human being has to be selflessness. The act of helping someone else instead of your own needs goes a long way. An example of this is would be everyone’s day to day life, when you’re just taking a stroll down the park or walking in a shopping complex you’ll eventually bump into a person that is homeless in need for any help. Most people walk by these people assuming that if they were to just give them money they would only go use it for alcohol or beer or cigarettes which is truly a sad thing to think about. You would only wish that they would spend the money you give them on more valuable things like a place to live for the day or new clothes to wear. But being selfless doesn’t always have to be related to materialistic things like money. It could be as simple as spending your time to make someone feel not lonely or making sure that someone gets somewhere safe. An example of this could simply be just giving your friend a ride home after a party. Even though he lives on the other side of the town and it would cost you a lot in gas, you still do it because you put others first before yourself. People who are selfless do face a real problem though,and that is getting “walked on”. There are people out there in the world that take advantage of others and do very hurtful things to people. If you are selfless you want to make sure that you aren’t someones “toy” and can stand up for yourself and know your limits.There was a time where my mom had gave a homeless man her left over money that she had from shopping.I kid you not this man’s eyes opened so wide that you could see through them. I was very happy to see this man’s day be made and I was very proud of my mom to do such an act.
