Sometimes I sit and wonder about things like:
- how can an entire friendship end over a borrowed 7 dollars and some change?
- or why do rappers fail to give back to the hoods they so vehemently claim?
- or why asking for a piece of someone’s food means you automatically owe them something later because they'll definitely bring up the time they let you hold som’n.
Nigga, I ain’t even hungry no more. Keep dat cornbread.
Altruism– selfless concern for the welfare of others.
I think it’s so important for people to realize how fortunate they truly are and then pay it forward. "Helping others" doesn't have to be monetarily. You can simply volunteer your time (which, often times, is much more beneficial). But the kicker is doing for others without expecting something back. Because sometimes people aren't in a position where they are able to return the favor. So, just take advantage of the opportunities that YOU have to help others in need. That's all. Altruism is on life support ouchea, g. But it ain't gotta stay like that.
Also, I just wanna shout out my family, my friends, my girlfriend and her family, and many others who have all done something for me out of true altruism. I am fortunate to be surrounded by people who do for others just because. It doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated.
