We rise by lifting others - ALTRUISM

What is altruism? It is the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. In other words, it is the reverse of egoism. Altruism is a value worth having. It builds bridges that connect and our world today is in dare need of it. Imagine every human watching out for the other without expecting anything in return or trumpeting the gesture to the whole world to hear?

 Altruism  leads to true friendship - and friendship enriches our lives, educates us, teaches us to trust, to care for one another and these stimulates our emotions.  Friendship provides us with people who endeavor to make our lives better by caring for us, celebrating with us and supporting us through difficult times. True friendship is guided by altruism and kindness towards others. Come to think of it, would you want to be friends or remain friends with people who are fake, not compassionate and selfish? No is the answer for me. Altruism for me is sacrifice, helping also people that i do not know and making their day better than i met them.

 A little act of kindness is all we need to change the world. Be kind to everyone.
