What would the world be like had everyone else before you catered for self?
After the fall of man from the front seat to inheriting a life created for blissful living, Genesis chapter 3. We practically lost the right to be catered for and according to the Holy Bible, man's selfishness which lead to the ultimate demise of credibility and hopeful collaboration.
We are the ones responsible for the good and bad we see on earth. We are responsible for the results we see. We are responsible for what we make of our lives no matter how badly we think we should be pitied.
I believe strongly and agree that we deserve what we got and have no doubt that it is as a result of the inhumanity in the heart of man that pushed the first couple to take the red succulent apple for a chew.
Wouldn't you???
I am crying here for you to see the life we lead as a place for the application of a selfless all serving humanitarian service that truly tells of us as working for the betterment of our terribly decayed society.
"We are the ones who have to make it a brighter day and until we start giving as much as we are living, change is constantly going to keep being a mirage and a far cry."
Have no fear... Superman is here!
Did I sometime ago mention that I still believe I can fly? I do and cannot wait for that day when Morpheus will come tell me of that hidden super power that will allow me stop bullets and be able to live in alternate reality. Or when Tony Stark and I will be on the same side fighting the scums of the earth. lol...
You have no idea how childish the human brain is until you spend some time being yourself in the realest sense of the word.
Human nature is fantastic as it is sickly twisted, greed and distrustful as it is ever-willing to reciprocate the kindness it knows in the fullest extent of the word defined as love itself.
I am tired of being weary.
I am an X in an indeterminate equation and I am tired of having to keep being used to find the right answers ever time there is a square root or some little genius with a pen and some abacus. I need to smile and feel that the world is smiling back.
No, No, No, tsk tsk tsk. Everything is not gonna be alright until you are alright, and being alright implies that we make a conscious choice to live the world better than we met it.
X needs some love. X needs some sugar. We all are an X in this indeterminate equation called life and we must keep being relevant to the finding of the right equation, every second, every minute, every hour, everyday, every week, every month, every year and till we are no longer visible as that X that is needed to solve the almighty equation.
We have to stop screwing up everything for the love of God!
Do not settle for less because you feel there is nothing you can do. Whenever you are offered a token for your service, be sure the paymaster has made at least a million coin from your effort. And you are only as important as the token he offers.
Note: There is a clue that will open the right door staring right in front of you. Question is, will you allow the wisdom of the X to decipher the clue?

The spirit is one, I just finished treating the topic you bring up just this past week.
I'm glad to see it been summarised up by you sir.
I don't even know how to start contributing to this well details piece , but I have to give it ago to show my own little understanding of the topic as well.
It is good to desire to be up there in life, but such desire is vanity if it is at the expense of others. Some people are just too desperate, their is absolute nothing they can not do to get their desires done.... Hmm, vanity upon vanity.
About our forefathers you mentioned, how I wish they never take the apple, how I wish we are all in the garden living with lions and other animals without been armed (their won't be to go to zoo to see them, smile) , I don't think there would be any memory sweeter and better than that. But, they rubbed us of this as a result of just one apple
About been an x, until we accept the fact that our coming to the world is not a mistake no matter the condition that is attached to our birth, we were created to solve a particular problem, we will never live to fulfil our purpose if we fail to solve them.
In my own definition for humanity, nobody is a nonentity, if I am or you are not here, no one will do what you are created to do.
Thank you for this piece sir.

This is a wake-up call to all to discover purpose once again, which can only be more fulfilling and meaningful when connected to others.
How do we even live when we are not living also for others?
Let's us come back and face the perils and opportunities of reality. Of which one is, that no one can ever achieve great success in isolation.
Thank you @ejemai for this wake-up call, quite inspiring.

If we care enough, share enough, the world will have enough. The world has enough of our need, but never enough for our greed.

Caring for the self plays a key role in society & our history. If you look at where we are today, a lot of it has had to do with incentives to look out for oneself & one's tribe. Throughout history people were never completely selfish as to be completely selfish would lead to an individual being ostracized along with a lower chance of mating & survival. If you look at the incentives, you can see how people will behave. The problem is not with people being selfish, the problem is how people are incentivised in modern day society.

We are differ,we think different ways and we don't think of the same thing the same way cos if we do,we should know helping others is like helping yourself. If charity could pass from you to me,me to someone else, the world would be a better place to live cos it will surely return back to you or your family one day

Ignorance makes one to think that catering for SELF will lead to satisfaction, lo! man has never been satisfied even while we seek to amass everything to our favour.
Many never consider why God had to create some vital essence of life with two perspectives:
Day vs night
Light vs darkness
Blessings vs curses
Life vs death
If there were no nights, we'll never appreciate the gifts of Days.
If there we no darkness, the glory of Light will never be understood
If there were no curses, then blessings will be meaningless
If there was no death, how will we have defined life?
It was God's intent to bring man into a web of dependence. We need one another to survive even as God needed us to fulfill His mission on earth. Today, God is still in need of a man. We in our being cannot truly exist outside of God for we are the branches and He's the vine (John 15).
Jesus Christ crowns it all when He says that "laying down ones life for a friend" is the greatest show of love.
We are for others.
Selfishness profits no man, but if a seed dies, it will grow and bring forth much fruits.
