There was a time when people cared about each other, felt bad at the misery of a total stranger, helped one another without selfish reasons. Its all gone now. Why? Because we are dwelling so much into so called self love. Now the entire emphasis have shifted towards self. Self has become more important than anything else. Every other post on social media talks about how self-love will give us satisfaction and happiness. I agree loving our self no doubt should be on the top of the list but we need to understand the importance of showing care and empathy to others. Showing a little compassion can do wonders to somebody's life.
Why are we so scared to give out love? Why do we keep it to ourselves. Love surely doesn't hurt. It, in fact, is one of the most satisfying feeling. What hurts is when we start expecting the same from others. Give and stop worrying about the returns. It is not an investment, not a business deal. If our concern can save somebody, then it is worth it. Being indifferent, inattentive is no less than being mean.
Love yourself but spread love around you too. Contribute to making this world a better place to live for everybody. If we will just be busy with our own selves all the time, we will forever be alone. That was definitely not the concept behind building this world. We co-exist for a reason.
Be kind. Be empathetic. Spread love.
