I have learnt the hard way that it's naive to try being good,nice and kind all the time. People often tend to take you for granted. Irascible and rumbustious individuals are better appreciated. Some people don't deserve nice people in their lives, sincerely. 3 Likes |

Stop preaching selfishness, my friend. The greatest men/women ever lived are those that sacrificed their need/life for others. Jesus Martin Luther Ghandi Mary Slezor Bhuda, Nelson Mandela Kwame Krumah e.t.c ''if you want to be great you must serve others''... Jesus Christ. There's nothing wrong in helping others. There's nothing wrong in sacrificing for a moment so others may be be happy. There's nothing wrong in sacrificing your own need, if helping others meet their need will mean greater good. When people are on their dying beds do you know their two biggest regrets?. 1. Not pursuing their dream. 2. Not doing enough to help others. I will keep giving, as long as I have. 1 Like |

Once upon a time, i was a polite shy dude who could never say no, was always displeasing himself to please others, but along the line people took me for granted, didn't respect my views and opinions and always tried to use me to get what they want. That's just how life is, when a commodity is in much circulation, it loses it's worth and becomes common. It's good to be nice though, but to an extent. Fast forward to the present, i got just one word for you "Individualism". 4 Likes |

musicwriter: Stop preaching selfishness, my friend.I knew someone would come up with this. You did not fully comprehend the post. Even before I started out, I made it clear that there is nothing wrong in being generous. In fact the world is a better place with more generous people. But always giving at your own expense and always having to say yes to people's demands when you know it's to your detriment is not good. Sometimes always helping others makes them irresponsible. Jesus had boundaries. Did you ever read in the Scriptures where it said that Jesus would not entrust himself to men because he knew all men? This is not encouraging selfishness. It's about applying wisdom in dealing with people. You may want to read the post again. 3 Likes |

musicwriter: Stop preaching selfishness, my friend. The OP has not said do not give. He said give with BOUNDARIES such that you do not hurt yourself for relations & friends who do NOT need ETERNAL crutches since they are not permanently DISABLED. Why is that so difficult to understand Akikanju t'oba mọ ija ti ko ba mọ isa, iruwọn a ma ba ogun ẹlomi lọ ni - A brave warrior who knows how to fight but does not know when to stop fighting will die fighting ANOTHER man's battle. #Nuff_Said 2 Likes 1 Share |

eleojo23: In practice, nobody gives without boundaries, so, I understand everything you've said. And, no matter what you think, it's better to give than not. The benefit of giving out-weighs not giving. Giving makes you happy and younger. |

This is very insightful and is coming at the moment I need it most. Thanks very much OP for this. My BP has been on the constant rise due to the spiraling need2give drive in my veins. I always feel like the entire world is my responsibility to fix and that its only in giving that I am receiving these excesses. Who feels it, knows it. 3 Likes |
