Of all the traits of mine that could be improved/changed, the one that is most painfully obvious is that I have no motivation to do selfless things/I lose motivation in doing selfless things. Labels: glum
Take last Sunday's volunteer activity for example. I was informed about it like 1 week+ ago. I only decided to go for it like 2 days before the actual activity. And that was only after friends reminded me about it. And I was only remotely interested to do it cause my friends were going to do it too.
Not that having such a reason as 'I'm doing it cause my friends are doing it' is bad, in fact the only reason I joined TOG was cause of that exact same reason. It's just that I feel doing charitable acts or acts of goodwill should only be done with the best of intentions. God knows I only did it cause my friends were doing it and I'm getting CCA points outta it.
In the name of brutal honesty, I am a selfish person. As all human beings are by nature, though many grow to be selfless. I know I have much to learn in the ways of doing good for others outside of my family.
Keeping the swirling thoughts to a minimum,
