It's funny how every living thing is selfish in some shape or form. Be it a human, or even an insignificant plant. everything revolves around it's own survival, whatever the cost.
Vines climb over existing plants and trees in a neverending race to reach sunlight and block out the sun for other plants in the process. It's something we don't notice, why? because it does not bother us directly.
That's the thing huh. If something weren't to affect us on a personal level, we wouldn't give a damn about it, but that may just allow it the opportunity to come back and bite us in the ass.
And by it I mean something bad. Like a tactical nuclear war or a simple act like smoking a ciggarette. (by the way each ciggarette reduces your lifespan by eleven minutes. nope not ten, not twelve, not ten and a half. eleven minutes!) there are always repurcussions.
But it's weird how when something good happens to us, we tend to forget that it ever happened? Yeah we appreciate it, but soon enough we'd forget and the appreciation fades away.
The truth is, it's tiring to stay grateful. We remember the bad more than we remember the good. I'm over-generalising by the way. It is all about ourselves, every man for himself, carve your heart out yourself, I want this piece of chicken you want you ownself take!
Maybe its time, its time to think abt others too. Think about what is empathy..
