It is not when humanity doesn't think that we will fail, it is when we don't act that will fall. This quote could mean humanity's ultimate downfall, or just minor pieces of humanity. ![]() One should always have a tricky medium of transcendence and attention, it is not healthy to want only 1 of those. |

If a person was to become completely selfless they would commit suicide. (Yes I know that there is a selfish aspect to every action) |

Raven, ![]() I am sorry you feel the way you do, however there is no need to put others down, the door you'll notice swings both ways. I wish you would stay, but not at the price of being abused, so, good luck! |

| Re: Bits Of Wisdom Which Deserve Quotation Quote:
Selflessness is helping others, and if I am dead, I cannot. Suicide is selfish in that killing one's self is to decide that death is preferable to any life, including a life of helping others. People kill themselves for their own interests - they do not want to face some hardship. |

| Re: Bits Of Wisdom Which Deserve Quotation Quote:
The reason why any person dose such an act is made from there desire of how they wish not to live. Therefore the act is done for the better of them self, and not the better of another. Unless one of those odd thing's happen Example--> a crazy man put's a bomb around another man's neck, and say's you must kill your self, if you dont the bomb will go off killing you and everyone around you. So he would be doing an act not for his self, but for the sake of another. There are alot of those crazy kind of thing's Another kind, is where you know that your going to die 100% chance of such if you go to a location, therefore would that be a act of killing your self? But you would have a choice to go or not go, but say if you did not go hostages would die, so you make a selfless act to give your life for there's, yet at the same time your openly killing your self just to save another, therefore an open act selflessness with pure intent. (That last one can also be seen and displayed in the action's of the man called jesus at year 0) Walked into a 100% chance of being killed while knowing that 100% chance, would that be killing your self as well? but for a selfless reason? I hope this add's some new flare to this thread
