Human beings are not inherently selfish. We are made to be like that.
If an alien sees kids from lets say taliban then they might think violence is the natural way people behave
But, if they see lets say someone in an ashram, it's completely different.
It's crazy why I didn't think of this before. People in the west preach about individualism and how everyone should care about themselves and the society is fucked up basically. People are depressed here more than anywhere in the world. There is no respect, everyone just thinks about themselves and "fuck others" because all the people are like that.
But, that's completely different from way people in japan behave for example or even Nepal. I am sad to correct my previous line *used to. Now, the west has corrupted our beliefs. Societies are breaking apart. Even if a relative has good intentions and tries to help you people are like 'Yeah fuck you bitch! mind your own business" or whatever cool kids say these days because they are brainwashed by west.
Nepalese outside or even in Nepal used to have very good values. Even if you are broke, you'd still invite any guests and treat them better. You know and basically helping each other in your community. You even becomes friends easily with other nepalese whom we've never met before. There's love and respect among each other. But, this is slowly starting to decrease.
And I hate that. My grandparents taught me to be polite and be respectful and help others. Even though I am far from perfect, those values have stuck with me, and I think I'm striving to become better. And although it's challenging at times, I've tried to make my default settings that people are good. It literally sounds like I am trying to convince myself, but I think so. We can't let a tiny fraction of people doing bad things to convince us that people are inherently bad, or selfish. I guess, selfish you can say that. But, is it internal? Like programmed in our genes? Maybe yes, we do whatever to survive and reproduce. So, guess in that level yeah
To think about others. Life doesn't have to be this who's better than who kinda thing. We can all be equals, walk as parallels to each other.
