Altruism- the life jacket of life

What is purpose if it does not serve the next man? We all have different and unique traits that if we become selfish about, the world will never be a great place.

No harmony, hope and the desire to explore it more. There is an English saying; “No man is an island.” Therefore, I need you as much as you need me and it is a fact we cannot abscond from. My success entirely depends on our interaction, so without you stretching your hand towards me, there is no way I could escape the dark and lonely pit of misery. It all takes altruism for us to catapult each other’s life to another unknown but wonderful levels. Altruism enables us to identify our commissions under the sun and make it easy for us to exercise them. Altruism is the quality of being unselfish and be concerned about other people’s welfare.

Yes, Henry Ford once said; “If you take care of your customers, the business will take care of itself.” This is a great emphasis and definition of possessing the quality of altruism. What he meant was that, one must forgo placing him/ herself before others but rather make it the other way round.
