Chaka Mo!

I believe that everyone is selfish, that underneath all help we give to other people it will always turn out that we are doing it not for them but for ourselves. For instance, you are helping our unfortunate brothers and sisters through charity. You are not actually doing it for them but for yourself, why? Because you want to feel good about yourself that is why. Another is that you are not just taking care of your body because it is the temple of the Holy Spirit or because it is a gift given to you and therefore, you must take good care of it. You are treating your body with such care because at the back of your mind, you know that if you do so people will start to notice you, adore you, and like you. Also, to those people who give extreme compliments to other people, let us face it... you are doing that not because you truly mean everything you are saying but because you also wanted to be given a good comment. 

Why am I saying this? Well, here is why...

I received a message this morning from someone who is asking to help a friend find a dormitory. At first I was kinda pissed. It is because I do not have any plans on staying outside and exposing my skin to sunlight. It's really hot outside, you know. I can just imagine what I would be like after the long walks I've done going from here to there looking for a dormitory for someone I do not even know personally, I'd be so maitim na siguro. But kindness prevails, so pumayag ang Lola mo at mamaya ay maghahanap na ng dorm. Hays.

But you know what, it is not about pure kindness that led me to say yes to that request. It was also because of the reason that I wanna feel good about myself knowing that I have done good to people who need my help. I guess it will be a win-win situation after all.
