The Art of Consideration: A Beacon of Altruism in a Sea of Selfishness

The pinnacle of love manifests in consideration. Perhaps the highest form of love is when one contemplates how their actions affect you, pays attention to the minutiae, and factors you into decisions that impact your life. The depth of care in any relationship is evident in the level of consideration shown.

Individuals consumed by intense selfishness are resolute in their desires, neglecting the well being of others. If one chooses to be selfish, let them own it without pretense or hope of evasion. Some will notice. Self centered individuals fail to divert their attention long enough to comprehend or empathize with others' needs.

In our endeavors to better the world, whether by illuminating, preserving, or nurturing humanity, it's common to feel outnumbered and disheartened by the lack of support for selfless acts. In such moments, I remind myself that I'd rather stand alone as a beacon of altruism than contribute to the sea of selfishness that breeds suffering.
