YOURSELF? Do you enjoy what you're doing? Or do you not?
Are you doing it for the sake of others?
I like to do works that brings joy to others, to see people around happy, i try to avoid what doesn't bring happiness to them. Sounds saint? Does this mean that i live for others?
NO.
Removing all layers of filters.. Selfishness in evident.
Why the actions? Because i don't want others to be un-pleased with me. I wanna look good. We like to look good. We want others to think well of ourselves.
"If you look honestly at your motivations, you may find them to be for YOU."
So its for myself? I'm selfish.
Last night as i was driving along PIE(with 2 passengers), i came across an elderly man who just fell off his motorcycle. I stopped by the side immediately, and 3 of us got out of the car to see if we could help this man. He had bruises, he was bleeding. His bike was on the ground, documents thrown out of the box all over in a mess. But fortunately, he's fine; he said to me he didn't need an ambulance. Another 2 motorists, 1 with an umbrella as it was raining, also came out to lend a helping hand. We left after the man and his bike stood up properly and his stuff were back in place. I felt comforted, by the 2 other men. After the incident, i asked myself - Why did i offer help to this stranger? I didn't need to impress the other 2 自己人 in the car or the strangers whom i've never met and they do not know me. I can proudly say that it was a sincere act of kindness. Thank God for that.
So what should you be living for?
For love, for the benefit of each other, but not at the expense of neglecting yourself. Cheers.

honestly speaking,
i do almost everything for karma!
sounds weird,
but true.
whenever my day goes bad,
i reflect,
and blame myself for all the bad stuffs that i have done.
but im grateful whenever my day is well.
:)
Agree with you..
and i would do the same thing too if i were to encounter such incident...=)

coincidentally, a day ago, someone told me this..."Angie, when you are put into a place and a situation, it's a chance to make a better you."
i'm totally at peace after hearing this.

如果为自己而活，人生就不含任何意义了。

Yeah u done a great job.
Thanks for everything again =]
you've definately done the right thing. if i were you, i would have done the same thing.
seriously thinking, if i were the one (touch wood) injured, definately i would need help in which ever ways. so i believe.. 好人有好报, although you didn't seek to impress others, but just a act of kindness, all from your heart.
v kind of u to help d old man... i still believe wat goes ard comes ard. it's nvr too much to give a helping hand. ;-)
i guess everyone has their own selfishness, and they have their reasons for it.
CHEERS! =)
Heh. Good deeds i dare to announce, bad ones i'll keep to myself. =)

some times people do ask (i dont know if you ask that to yourself too),
"am i worth living in this world/ am i someone to people around me"
by helping that man, you made him feel recognized. even in this busy society. well, made him smile. Nice.
i live for being happy and bringing happiness to people around me.
(:
oh, if you cannot remember who i am, i'm the one that you always see near NAFA, once at asian house. :]
see you soon! haha!
Yes Min Hui, i remember.
Everyone's definitely worth something. All of us.
Whacks the drum quietly, hits the bed. Almost dead.
Night.
Laughter/ smile is fat-free,
salt-free,
non-taxable,
environmentally safe and
constantly renewable.
So is kindness (:
