Finding decent things to write about so I don't lose them in my mind. So here's one of simple yet profound concept lingering about.

I think the system by which this world was designed to run on is on selflessness. Basically, self-giving. If we'd all live giving rather than getting, I think the world will be a better place to live in. To live, we need things. Most of these needs often are derived from others. Money, food, comfort, assurance, companionship, love. And these are so dearly yearned that many people go the extremes to attain them.

Unfortunately, it's the philosophy of many to do opposite, in which we stick to self-preservation. And it's that attitude is what hurts the world, hurts people. We become desperate in ensuring our own survival from hurts, we start to put up measures to protect what we have from going out, at the same time trying to find opportunities to get them.

All of these works on a system of give and take. To take something equates to someone giving it out. For every person being cared for, someone must give out the same measure of care. On the other hand, someone who holds back from another equates to a lack for the receiving end.

In sum, there's more people wanting to be helped than to help. The good thing is that there's a bunch of good people giving out more than they receive from others (tap from other resources).

Another part of this system is the cycle of hurts. We all get hurt. And hurting prompts many to become protective of themselves. Often, the wrong kind of defense are employed, and it results in keeping safe at the expense others. In turn, people around get hurt and the same defense kicks in, causing a cyclic series of people hurting people.

If'd all let down our hurtful defenses for once, and at the same time do a nice deed for another, we could begin a cycle of positive support. Everyone relying on each other instead of dysfunctional coping mechanisms. It'd would be impractical to ask everyone to do it at one go, but then change must begin with one. For one person to stop playing the hurt game, for another to reciprocate, and soon more to follow on. If'd we all do our parts and persevere in holding out, instead of adding to this hurtful cycle, one day we'll make it a better place for everyone, for ourselves. But of course this will take selflessness.

I can't ask people to stop this, but I can be an example and play a part in stopping this. Will you?
