Altruism




One can ask why it is good to have altruism? Because it is good for you, for others and for entire humanity. Altruism or helping others in selfless manner is shown even by other animals, birds and insects. It is more crucial for human beings. It is commonly said that man is a social animal.We live in inter-connected and inter-dependent environment. We have needs and states which requires support of others. If we all believe in only self satisfaction, we all will remain unsatisfied and unfulfilled. This will lead to frustration and negativity leading to every possible evil. Many people are in a state in which they need big help and support. Thus is the need of people to extend helping hand without any selfish interest or ulterior motive. This can help in saving humanity from suffering and in improving quality of life. The overall growth in turn will help world in becoming a happier place and more developed too. Altruism is not only for helping others, it gives immense satisfaction and sense of purpose and meaningfulness to the person. Great people like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King have lived an altruistic life helping millions during their lifetime and still inspiring and helping.

Some people have altruism as inherent trait. Others can develop it. One of the most important way to develop it is by sensitizing people towards pain and suffering of others. This should start early in childhood. Meditation and Mindfulness can also help in developing altruism. Reading about great altruistic leaders is another way. NGO's are actively doing altruistic works worldwide. Events can be organized to involve people in such activities.

Humanity must choose - rise together through altruism or get destroyed through selfishness.

Advice





Advice is helpful. It can support, ease stress, help in growth and at times can save life as well. But remember – let there be no advice without asking. If you want to advice someone then do not do this in an impulse. First you must analyze whole picture, try to understand the person. Try to understand his or her unique circumstances. Once you understand the complete picture then show all possible options and explain merits and demerits of all. Make sure not to give destructive advice. And most important, never force an advice. Do not feel bad or express disapproval if the person does not agree with your advice. Respect his or her right to choose.

Advantage







Life is all about balance. For order to be maintained one has to see what is right for self and others. This may vary from condition to condition. But the basic idea is to make sure there is no undue advantage. Neither one should expect this for self or give to others. If this is not done, this results in easy gain for some and frustration and injustice for others. Both prove harmful for people and humanity.
