Selflessness

The rate of greediness, selfishness, and corruption in our society is alarming, and this is so because the level of selflessness in our society is very low, we do not do what we preach which is love. We only love ourselves and not love our neighbors as our ourselves

People now do things to please themselves not thinking on the hurt or harm it will have on others. Selfishness has taken over in our society. Selflessness is about realizing that life isn't just about your own needs and preferences, but rather looking out for another's as well.

Selflessness is the quality of not putting yourself first but being willing to give other people your time, money, efforts, and other resources at your disposal. It is basically an unselfish concern for the welfare of others. Before we do things in our home, community, workplace and society at large we should consider the effect it will have on others and not just the benefits we'll derive from doing that thing.

Selflessness means putting your community's needs above your own instead of always acting in your own interest. Acting selflessly is not easy, but the more you practice it the better you get at being kind and generous more often. When you make a habit of taking action to help others feel good and make the world a better place, you will see that bring selfless can actually make you happy. Selflessness is perhaps the quality that can change one's life so much, thought it may not sound appealing but it adds sure a great value to life, because when we help other people and their needs are met, we feel a lot happier to see them happy.

Selflessness is when your care for something is so strong that you would do anything for it. It's when you're so impressed and in awe of a person, that when in his presence, your own needs do not feel so significant anymore. It is when something is so special and dear to you then your very existence.

A selfish life is a meaningless life.

Selflessness means support and help we give you others without expectation of reward. Selflessness, which is an act or culture of doing things that are beneficial to others irrespective of personal costs, is a great value which society advocates. Selflessness has to do with being generous (generosity is the heart of selflessness) and loyal. It pays in the long run to be selfless because someday we will reap the fruits of the seeds of selflessness that we have sown. We should bear in mind that if we must give to people depending on the circumstances it is better to give secretly and give something to someone that can never repay you, even if the person can repay us, we should not offer our resources with the mindset of getting a repayment.

Benefits of Selflessness

The majority of the advantages you gain from being selfless are inner benefits. It feels really good when you can help people out who are in a bad situation. Sometimes the smallest action or caring words can make a big difference in someone's life .Some of the benefits of being a selfless person include;

1. A selfless person is loved by the people and such a person will be treated nicely. Society loves a selfless human being.

2. The more selfless service you do the more successful you will become.

3. It feels good when you help out someone in a bad situation. The feeling of being useful to help others by doing a good thing and what is right is an incomparable feeling.
