Selflessness is deceptive


When I preach against selflessness I'm not being a heck am just being honest and sincere because I have been there acting and believing  that everything I do is ultimately to benefit others without knowing that everything one does is eventually coming back to him good or bad so ultimately whatever you do is for your own good (forgiveness kindness help tolerance etc are selfish virtues)

To be selfish entails a character that reflects a recognition of his uniqueness by nature requires that it is nurtured and developed by the values he seeks in order to grow from seed to tree and bear fruit and must continue to seek out these values to keep bearing fruit. This must be a man's primary concern and placed above serving the purpose of others

I have denied the me in me the values it needs to grow and reach highest potential just to prove to my friends that I am a good person

I have sacrificed what the me in me really needed to grow in way of my career job and many other ways to be a good son and brother to my family

I have starved the me in me while searching finding and feeding my lovers the values they needed just to prove the genuineness of my love but never gotten true love reciprocated

Observe the progressive consequential disaster of this character. I have hitherto for purpose of attaining moral ideal allowed my moral philosophy be corrupted by altruism and have seen myself continually loose within and outside. After a revolutionary mind reprogramming did I realize that loosing yourself in pursuit of gaining another will eventually lead to loosing both you and the other there and then did I understand appreciate and upheld the virtue of selfishness

Several years later, I have been able to establish and grow meaningful relationships, recorded more successes and happiness since I became virtuously selfish because I realized that the other would love, appreciate and never want to leave as long as I remained me who will and can never get exhausted in giving out the value which they seek in the character which I exhibit

Being virtuously selfish is the character needed to redeem man's self-esteem from the hands of society and set him up for attaining significance from maximizing his uniqueness and potentials

understanding the structure of the mind (Part 1)

I have established and have since been educating on the foundation that reality functions as a system - everything in the universe, having a specific feature and unique identity functions interdependently releasing and trading the unique value of their individuality as individuals and institutions towards sustaining the functionality of the system in an optimal and healthy state. However irrespective of the fact that reality's system is objective of any of the entities(observation or opinions)  existing inside of it, their individual experiences and the reality which they know are different. this is because of the mindset which I want to dwell extensively in discussing Many authors psychologist, motivational, speakers have done a lot of work on issue of mindset and mind transformation knowing that it is the basic resource or element that determine and has the power to decide the outcome of the life of an individual and even the whole universe that's why its important w...

The fallacy of education (advocating an epistemological solution)

One of the greatest deceptions or fallacies of  all time is to set schooling or academic pursuits/achievement as the bases to define or determine a person's level/quality of education Like I am usually misunderstood by most of my critics about the identity of a person not primary institutional, social or biological but metaphysical. What defines who a person is eg (educated or uneducated) is the extent to which he commits his mind to discovery of basic characteristics of himself and of the world around him and to determine how he is supposed to live/act in order to preserve, sustain and exploit this characteristics/features (himself and the world around) for his enjoyment. So I am who I am not because an institution says so by giving me a certificate, not because people say so, not because of the family I come from but because nature gave it to me and I am who I am before society agreed . I am me and i introduce myself to society not me being introduced to myself by the soci...

You can achieve Your purpose without a plan(Joseph a phlegmatic case study)

As a philosophically minded person that I am, my concern for practical knowledge is second to none and when it comes to the bible and Gods word its not an exception. I need to verify, I need to proof and arrive at a personal conviction about the truth and validity of every word that is written and proposed to me for ideal living Based on that, I love to do character study of bible characters. Even on a normal day, I am enthusiastic about the biographies of great people who have been able to overcome, triumph and make their marks despite all odds. I try to study their personality traits, challenges and weakness to see how they relate to my present situation - to see how they maneuvered and see how I can apply it to my own life. Because it is said that History always repeat itself when people refuse to learn from history. Studying these past failure and success gives me an upper hand not to repeat their errors and be better than them In that regards there's a particular person w...
