Not Why Me, but Why Them?

In this life I have found that most people always think of themselves first. Never do they help a friend without saying "well whats in it for me?" I find this to be very frustrating. It makes me wonder of the definition of the word "humane". People always use this word to tell another person that they are doing something morally wrong. But what about these hedonistic people in this lifetime that HAVE to get something for doing something as little as driving a friend to work. Why can't people just be happy that they just made another persons life just a little bit easier. This makes sense, doesn't it?
Yesterday I had an acquaintance ask me, on a scale from one to ten, what their attractiveness was. I told her she, in my eyes, was a seven. Now you see, I never base how attractive a person is just by their looks. I look at their attitude towards life, how selfish they may be ect. And so the reason for giving this girl a seven was the sole fact that she is always down about herself. I have never seen a time when this girl being completely happy and mostly content with her present life. I always hear her saying "fuck my life" or "fuck the world". In my opinion people, don't ALWAYS have to be happy to be attractive, but they should try to be content with their life and not blame the horrible events that happen in their life on other people.
One of the things I like to say to myself is "in with the good, and out with the bad". I use this to forget about the horrible things that have happened in my life, and remember the good. So this is what I had to explain to the girl. It didn't take long for her to understand it. That I am happy for.
The main reason for the title of this blog is because of a conversation I had with a very amazing friend of mine. We talked about how people can never step down from their own pedestal and how when anything goes wrong in their life, they have to blame it on another person without really looking at the problem. Eventually through the conversation, we got to the issue of how people never stop thinking about how horrible their life is, rather than using and memorizing these obstacles to help another person out when they need it.
I know that I have been guilty of what I am accusing other people for in this blog, but for now I don't think that I am doing this. I try to catch myself every time I do so that I don't sound like a hypocrite when I do. But I do hope that one day, most people will start to look at another persons life and see what obstacles they are going through before they petty their own life.
