Is there anything called a "selfless act"? Don't we all do something for others or help out someone because it makes us feel good? Gives us a sense of satisfaction?
Many years ago, when I was in college I was browsing tv channels, and I casually stopped to hear a lady in a white saree (I know now that it was B.K.Shivani) say these words "don't ever say that I am doing this for you to anyone, because, you are doing something for another person ONLY because it is making you feel good". And that stuck in my head. So true right? Are we living in an illusion that we are doing something for others to please them, whereas in reality we help others to make ourselves look good? Isn't it a feel good factor? Does it make us feel less guilty about enjoying the good things we have that others don't have? I am definitely not undermining the goodness behind serving/helping others. It is a great asset in anyone to be compassionate towards others and to help out. But let us retrospect :)
