Exactly. They "rip" into me, with defensiveness, to defend their belief systems. If they really wanted to put others first they'd stay calm and explain why I should believe they are correct. I guess their "ego" gets in the way... oh well that only proves my point that people are still somewhat selfish and hiding it.
If my word don't "come across happy', that is YOUR judgment. It is YOUR mind filtering the text.
A person can type anything, you do not know how they feel in reality...
If I put a bunch of exclamation marks (!!!!!!) do you believe I am yelling in reality?

I actuallly agree with some of your beliefs. All i asked for was your experienced based examples of how you have made or making others stronger pursing the self.
People who feel like they "need" things to be validated are not service to self, they are still worried about the opinions of others, and if you need to "steal" from others, then you feel weak and self-suficient inside otherwises you'd know you are awesome as you are.
and if you need to "steal" from others

Karma is a lie in order to keep people mentally enslaved just like most religions...
It doesn't matter if people "like" it or "not". Many people don't like a lot of things about reality/truth.

Well it's just plain selfish.
Spare me the I helped them learn justifications.
One day you may need others to help you and they won't because you never helped them.
I'm disabled and require assistance every day of my life. I wasn't born this way and I didn't like my new life of always needing help. I had to get lessons on how to ask for help because i couldnt do it. I'm not a taker, never had been.
Lots of times complete strangers will offer to give me a hand as they pass by and do you know how nice that is? So glad everybody isn't like you.
I'm very insulted by your post.

I wanted to finish reading down the page before I chimed in, but your claim to insult prompted me to respond now. You're response to this person's statement shows that you have next to no understanding of what he just said, and at the same time probably understand what he said more than you know.
This man tried to say in the best way he could have that we can't help others without our own inner strength. That strength must be built up before you can even think about helping others. Ex: if you don't build up your muscles, you can't carry your friend to his car.
I get sick and tired of people taking the high moral position on the wrong side of an argument. You, someone who's handicapped, wants to tell someone you are offended at his thought process, assuming he's a dumb@$$ for saying such. No one would say that without thinking about it and because you've probably never had someone tell you their opinion to your face, you don't know otherwise.
Of course he would help obvious handicaps. The problem is wasting energy on helping people who could otherwise help themselves if they only understood that it was in their power to do so. I'm tired of all this PC BS!
You guys are hammering down on him for telling the absolute truth and you have no idea that this is what is leading to the downfall of natural law.
I'd go on, but I might say something I'd regret. Nothing personal so if I hurt yours or anyone else's feelings it was because I want to shed some well needed light.

I thought I'd wait a day then have another look, but your still pushing the same barrow.
If you believe service to self is more important then serving the community, helping your fellow man, pitching in,
taking one for the team etc. Then you may as well go live as a hermit or on a desert island.
I for one am always willing to help another person, even someone as confused as you are.
Which is why I offer this advice. Self - centered people get disliked real quickly.
Look in any work environment and those who look after themselves are often ostracised by other workmates.
Obviously the bosses look after themselves first which is often how they got to their position in the first place, by stepping on heads up the corporate ladder.
If thats what you want then good luck to you. I believe in Karma and Virtue, and your thinking creates little Virtue but a lot of Karma, which in Buddhist terms, a lot of reincarnating to erase the Karma.
You'll just make future lives more difficult, but you may get rich in this one.
Peace

the OP is half right and half confused by somethings about the human being. Human beings are meant to work in teams. To enhance a team to its maximum potential everyone needs to work on the best they can be at their own skills and capabilities. Teamwork is what binds all them uniques skills togther. A team member in no good to the team if they are harsh, or cruel. lazy or cant do their part correctly I sense in the OP some harshness and cruelty in the heart. Thats my opinion.edit on 28-8-2012 by AthlonSavage because: (no reason given)edit on 28-8-2012 by AthlonSavage because: (no reason given)

Your anger is quite delicious. I think I'll just feed on it as long as you keep supplying it. Is that what you want to give to the world as your legacy? [/Quote]
