Once I heard someone saying that the most soothing sound to human ears is that of his own name. Indeed so many of us scribble our own names at the back of our register in free time (even during lectures!). We relish the thought of our victory, strength, advantage, goodness and of all possible virtues. We do like to love, praise and aggrandize ourselves, do not we?
Confusion comes when one tries to examine this natural ego, self love a bit seriously. One of my friend said to me that even our acts of help to others stem from basic need of satisfying our own ego.
In light of these confusing arguments, I would like to put just one question to all.
When was the last time you genuinely helped someone?
What was that act motivated with?
Answers are welcome, in case you do not find it right to post it on blog, mail it over…
