SELFLESS-ness (2)


Charity begins at home
While charity begins at home, it’s nice to extend it in the neighborhood too. Offering to others comes with internalization of humane abilities. Each one was indeed born with them; however self-preservation is an entrenched trait too. Fulfillment of needs of the self is paramount. The limits of satisfaction however vary and allow for discontentment more often that satiation. The grey zone separating needs from wants makes gratification challenging. Nonetheless, self-acceptance and personal growth do pave way for gallant behavior, where offering to the world becomes more critical than hoarding it for oneself. The traits of the selfless may be described as:
care for emotions
care for emotions
Softhearted
Empathic
Lucid
Forthcoming
Loving
Effervescent
Sympathetic
Sensitive
Loving
Kindness, compassion and nurturance are the keystones of love. Love is a psychological construct and the biggest facilitator in interpersonal relationships. Not all relationships implicate ‘love’ in its romantic context; a tender demeanor nonetheless enables one to offer a part of oneself to those around and impact lives significantly. The altruist knows the power of compassion and supremacy of benevolence. Humans are dependent by nature, thus love has been accepted as an extension of support and cooperation to others. Love ought to exist within to be expended outward.
Effervescent
be the ball of energy for the world
The prettiest fail to appreciate their own beauty, the richest don’t realize their fortune and luckiest miscalculate their blessings. It’s wholesome to love yourself and feel good about who you are. The happy souls are lighter and feel brighter. They can then radiate their joys on the world around. They adore and admire themselves and extend that admiration on the world. The inner self reflects what has been received, more so perceived. Excitement and passion become the driving forces to action. Feats that lack fervor are halfhearted and empty in purpose. Appetite is associated with life, creation and innovation. Life becomes more purposeful when work, relationships, education, children, and friendships; are all looked sought with zest. In excess, passion may drive itself to aggression; which ought to be kept at bay. However the right quantum of sparkle makes the ambiance exciting and purposeful. One must to get beyond oneself to see the existent brightness and add a personal element of sparkle to the lives of those around.
Sympathetic
Pity (not an unusually deemed good sentiment) does involve lenience to the needs of others. However it culminates as an external unconnected offering of mercy. It’s not something that’s desirable for building positive relationships and solving complex problems. In relationships that engage emotion, (which really comprises all of them) it is important to be responsive to the needs of others; to step into their shoes, see their point of view, and connect with them. If used frequently as a defense, it becomes part of one’s persona and helps one on the path to self-realization. If only each one had the scope that enabled one to look through the eyes of others to understand their desires, wants, expectations, pains, and woes. Personal troubles would then be negated in no time.
Sensitive
Emotions are defined by their subjectivity. They are conscious individual experiences, personal mental states and unique biological reactions. Being sensitive to emotions first mandates an understanding of one’s own feelings. If you know pain, you can appreciate the agony of another better; so also with loss, rejection, misery, depression and the whole barrage of negative emotions one faces in this ecosphere. One often vindicates insensitivity through preoccupation with personal plights. Rightfully so, one must have peace within to extend it outward. The actualized souls have a gift, resistant to pain and forever comforting; they are the cushions themselves.
