Strangely, Selfishness Increases with the Age whereas it should be other way round
I have keenly watched and notice that selfishness increases with the age. I mean selfishness to certain aspects of material life. Selfishness towards one's health in old age should certainly increase with the age. But here I mean overly self- centered, self serving, stingy to others both emotionally as well as materially. As if life start revolving around few. The opposite of selfishness is self sacrifice who supports and help others. It bothers me because my understanding since childhood was that with age one become experienced, exposed,matured and practicality of life makes one to understand the meaning of human life better and also the mortality. Life is not immortal and everyone has to depart and this should teach us more compassion, more support to others, more giving and helping. This is my understanding of life maturing with the age ,inculcate the sense of giving and preparing yourself to depart on a happy and giving note....
