1. Selfish.

In present world, we come across a lot of people whom we term as selfish. Who, according to you gets this certificate/designation? Is it the one who thinks about himself and never thinks about others? Most of you will say, yes. Some of you might add something to it.

Have you ever asked your self whether you yourself fall into the same category or no?

I believe I am selfish. Besides, if I put myself in any other role, I feel I would still be selfish. Let it be a mother, father, husband, wife, friend, kid, nephew, niece et al.

You will directly come and hit me asking me how parents can be selfish. I would say they are at times. In our social structure, why isn’t a girl child encouraged much for studying? Just because she is going to stay with parents for a while and then move somewhere else. Why a boy child is never discouraged for studying? He is going to feed you man. How about a family where there are 2 kids of similar age. A boy and a girl. The condition is such that after graduation only one of them can study further. Who will be the best choice?

After reading this much, most of you must have already started cursing me. The reason is simple. Most of us think that being selfish is bad and no one likes to be called so; but isn’t this your own reading till now because I have never said so. Did I say that parents are bad because you are selfish?

Now, according to me, selfish is some one who first thinks about himself and then about others. Ask yourself, Isn’t this what I am? If not, then hats off.
