Selfish is a word with duality linked into itself. The basic question asked, in all reasonable management schools, for beginners.. Is greed good? Think/highlight on its pros/cons? A live fish organically by itself is not stinky in nature, but once sacrificed and out into the streets it becomes odorous. Instead of bragging out as being poor/neglected and drowning under the poverty sickened ecosystem/ecoculture of ignorance/ego. Reminded.."Give me some food/fish I eat for a day, teach me to earn/fish I survive/eat for my lifetime".

When some one pointed out/ sympathized.. we are a poor nation with poor illiterate humble souls/minds being deprived of transparency, with rapid corruption eroding itself/ourselves. Where it seems its majority 70% find's itself difficult to sustain/survive decently, but ironically has enough reserves/resources to feed the entire SAARC nation.. being wasted due to lack of insight/clarity on/by itself..beginning with its highly trained and sophisticated citizens. Perceived by many now as a nation burning down its own barns for few rogue rats/pests.
Reminding the sad/smart, decently educated/progressive/ outspoken/ good willed citizen....please do not feel like a beggar, but at least feel empowered to ask once children- 'Are you really hungry to eat'?....to begin with, and not force them to eat their food/cursing them..and by showing them pictures of people eating excretas/drinking camels water and spoil their interest in food and make their lives depressed/intimidating....after all mathematically/scientifically speaking.. every global citizen today has over four acres of land if divided and given....if not enough socially, can all be pooled up within a nation as large as Germany. It's only a matter of will/desire when clubbed with a vision/mission to make it happen..with an earnest local/global leadership....who are ready to engage constructively putting aside their ideological/cultural ignorant pride/ego of no tangible depth/value.
Are the aware being 'really exposed'/ 'exposed enough' to begin with? Simply do they not care or just need a venue to dance/party/play and vent out/show off once accumulated treasures/postures of ego/pride to be simply acknowledged/appreciated for their wit/smartness.

Happened to talk a bit vocally one day about materialism and ended up getting a text alert shortly, when asked to seek its meaning correctly.... "Materialism: The definition of materialism is the philosophy that everything can be explained in terms of matter or the idea that goods and wealth are the most important things. An example of materialism is explaining love in terms of material things, as valuing a new car over friendship" Replied back saying.."True life by itself is a supreme sacrifice. Done very often conditionally to seek acknowledgement/attention as done within a family/friends circle for recognition/respect/inclusion the very basic spirit/nature being classified as a social animal. Parents often doing consciously/unconsciously to get honor/respect back from their children, for their investments/time in the long run..to shatter when/if not reciprocated back gratefully/gracefully.. else to be branded selfish/ungrateful brats.. for the reality show within the community to sustain/prolong. The few selfless grouped into the classification of saints or unconditional social workers".

'Some materialistically poor' aspire/ flock to make the bored/six packed/lost rich.. be engaged meaningfully ..to eventually show their true spirit, once into the rotary club. While ironically 'some' rich flock to the poor, to make themselves relevant/grounded. The paradox of our human lifE
