Selfish Motives

I think I have asked this question before though I am not certain. =)  Why do you do what you do?  Do you do it for yourself?  Do you do it for others?  Do you do it to get something in return?  How often do you do something entirely for the benefit of another person?

We live in a selfish society who are always focused entirely on self.   Example:  When you give a Christmas present do you give it to get something back or do you give it to help another person asking nothing in return?  Do you say I love you because you mean it or because it is expected and nice to hear in return?  Are you nice to others to save face or do you really care about them?  Do you do someone a favor expecting something in return or just to be a help?

There's no point in being a hypocrite.  Be who you are and don't be fake.  The transparency of the lives around is so blatantly clear that a blind man could see it and deaf man could hear it.  The only person who doesn't see a selfish person's apathy is that person.
As we approach Christmas, let us strive to be real people who are truly helpful to those around us.  Give and take nothing.  Be sincere in your conversation.  Be quiet if you can't be genuine.  Be sincerely nice or be reclusive.  There are enough artificial people in the world without you or I adding to the number.

Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving, giving God all the glory for everything!
