Selflessness vs Selfishness
Selfishness vs Selflessness 1948 (Miumbai)
Be happy with whatLittle you have
There are some
People with nothing
Who still manage to smile!!
Material things give us
Temporary pleasure
Cause it does not
Last long
But Selfless and Spreading seeds of Happiness
Brings about a lot of smiles.
Tatas are one fine example
Who are always
Serving humanity
They are totally dedicated
To uprooting the needy helpless
As well as the sick from poverty
By following the tenets of Zoroastrianism
Of Good Thoughts Good Words Good Deeds
The trait of selfishness is
Everything for oneself
In life it is not good
Cause what one sows
Does come around
By being selfish one
Loses a lot of friends
But if being selfless
The friends are with you
Till the very end
Lastly:Change your thoughts
And you change your world
Norman Vincent Peale)Stay safe & keep well
Choicest Happiness
Farida
