The Virtue Of Self

Why use selfishness to antagonize people?

Is it a sin for somebody to do what interests them?

Is selfishness or being what is of interest to you a selfish or wrong thing to do?

Take action on what you want to do now. But do no harm to yourself or others. Do your best.

We are not our brother’s keeper. But be reasonable and hold true to your convictions.

When we are selfish or do what is of interest to us, it is reasonable to believe we will do harm to ourselves and others at times. It is also reasonable to admit we might be too selfish about what we hold dear, what we love or what we do.

It means that we learn how to be virtuous with ourselves.

It needs to be uppermost in our minds to become a better virtue, we are the only ones who must be reasonable, good to ourselves and others, and do what is harmless to each other.

This conviction is necessary to hold the self up in a good way and make ourselves more virtuous.

The Athiest

Seeing is believing or knowing means more than believing…

I am responsible for what I say and do.

Yet, I accept mistakes in myself and others… to what end?

Yes, question me, and my kind answer has meaning and purpose.

Do I know it? Am I willing to learn and set right my mistakes?

Do not answer in haste.

Do not take a lifetime.

Do not take too long.

How long?

There is much learning to be done.

Learn patience, endurance and know thyself.

This is why belief is not enough and responsibility is earned through discovery of right action.

Much humility must be felt and no act of pride made, to feel humiliated is human and yet an act of violence, even against myself through ignorance must be learnt to avoid it.

Once learnt the violence must be cast aside to know my thoughts and beliefs so I can test my actions.

Again, to what end, to learn a response to my own ignorance and false ways.

No one is a saint or a sinner but many are false, violent and without a response.

Yet, when belief aids a human to better behavior, it can be helpful.

My arrogance stretches no further than my mistakes and the useful way I can find a good behavior and response.

This behavior is build on the belief, I need to improve my behavior and stop judging myself without need.

I need to be a lifelong student.

I need a lot of help along the way.

A lot more thought to this problem will be needed to find a mastery.

And yet, who is perfect or can keep the right action?

That is why my life is a work in progress.
