We live for ourselves, not for others.
"we live for ourselves, not for others." i used to like this sentence a lot. in fact, i admired it, how powerful this sentence speaks for itself. we have to live for ourselves, we do things for our own good, just like we help others so we can see others happy, and when they are, we will be too. isn't that for our own benefits too? but as time passes, i come to realise this sentence isn't all that convincing. we are all living for others all the time. we care what others think. when we have to make choices, others aspects other than yourself come to mind. if everyone were to live for themselves, will the world be a different one? will it be a happier one, or a miserable one? maybe there are people who can, but i know that i can't. i know i won't be happy if i do. maybe i'll change in the future.

Albert Einstein once said, "Only a life living for others is worth living."
Tho i like this sentence,but i believe there are times where you have to live for yourselves. Coz thinking too much for or of others will make you lose yourself. =DD
to wendelane:
yes, you're so very right! i agree with both you and alert einstein. so i guess it all depends on what situations we're in. (:
situations decides all. =D I'm trying to live more for myself but i'm trying to be more selfless to others at the same time. =D
to wendelane:
same here (: we're on the same boat it seems.
