The being's fish bowl

The truth is that everyone's most important thing in his own life is that, one's own life. Some Spanish thinker said once that Me is composed by me and my circumstance. And although life may be very simple, this fact makes it all complicated.

Everybody's main concern is the own well being. Though it does not necessary mean that it makes us not to care about others at all, it definitely places it on a secondary level.
Human being is greedy by nature. It has been the survival mechanism that has allowed us to get where we are. In the past, no one other than our progenitors would care about our lives' continuity. No one would give us our sustenance if we wouldn't do anything to get it.
And despite of all what the politically correct says, nowadays no one truly cares about others.
Selfishness is present in the overall lifetime of most of us. If we want to be successful in our life, we cannot distract in helping others to do the same.
There are many millions of people inhabiting the word and that has helped to create a tough competence for all to get the average lifestyle anyone would like. We have put ourselves in the contradictory position of having created a society successful enough to thrive until what has became the actual population, to, now, creating the need for fighting to get our own space where to thrive ourselves.
Everything is about thriving, getting bigger, wealthier, more recognised, more powerful. Society encourages this greediness. All what is to come has to be better than what has past.

This is what makes the simplicity of life it to be complicated; according to what power has shown us, there is no room for all to thrive as widely as we wish. Some of us has to remain fruitless for other to obtain a bit more. However, no matter how much one have, everyone wants more.
And it's there where it comes to no one cares about others. "You are my equal, but if there is anything on my hand that will allow me to get more, I will do it".

And in the end I will always ask myself, what is all this for?
