Why Is Everyone Becoming Selfish? by nereushouse(op): 2:16am On Jun 25, 2019
I have always dreamt of a World of Love, Unity and Progress in my formative times. I grew up in a very humble background where one Man's Property virtually belonged to all. We cared and had respect.

I remembered my Father's benevolent gestures to his kinsmen when I was growing up. I emulated such, as though accepted by the Christian practices. I remembered how my Father single handedly paid school fees of some students back then who couldn't afford their fees.
Helping one another was a culture practised in the times. No cost was involved, nor stress attached.

Everything has changed now in our robotic, cyber, android and Swagger conscious driven world. Nothing goes for nothing. Everything has become monetised or special benefits attached.

My Brother shared a story with me on how he got his car stocked on a pothole somewhere around Ikeja. He was stranded, after a while, three men came to his rescue.
They pushed the Motor car out from where the car was grinded.
My Brother appreciated by giving them N500 a token atleast for their inconveniences. To his amazement, one of them cried ''Oga, this one no go reach o, we bethree here and where we dey stay far, well,well''. My Brother had to plead with them before they accepted. That's crude and cruel.
No one wants to help without the mindset of having something back in turn. Very bad.

This has also bitten and eaten into our relationships.
Some Men want to have a royal rumble before helping our female folks. Very bad.

Another very annoying behavior of selfish people is this;
I have also noticed recently, that once a friend that hardly calls rings your Phone, the next thing is ''kai, o boy, na God just say make I call you so, after all my good friends don fail me, I know say u no go fail me, one keke scratch my car yesterday for traffic, LASTMA sef come arrest me, as I reach house, my wife come dey Labour''. They don't care about your own welfare. This tactic is used by our fake pastors.

Let us make the world a better place. The World wasn't made for ME, but for YOU and I. Cheers to Happy World.

Many people don't realize that being kind to others is the rent we pay for sharing earth space. It's sad really.

If the world was occupied by only good people we won't know the value of good, the world needs bad people to know the value of good people,
If the world was occupied by only rich people we won't know the value of been rich the rich need the poor to know the value of richness, strong people need the weak to know the value of their strength, beautiful handsome people need the ugly,
Light needs darkness, it goes on and on it's endless these positive and negative things are actually what makes the world an interesting place to live in, God himself allowed it this way so that humans will recognize him as God
