The word "selfishness" has been hovering in my mind recently.
Dad saw me pull my favorite food in front of me and called me selfish; Tidy things up, just put your own things in order and call me selfish; Even when I pick up the TV remote control and turn on my favorite TV programs, I say I am selfish. ...
What the hell is selfishness? What are the disadvantages? I never thought about it, and I never really understood it.
This holiday, the whole family went out to travel, and only my belongings were in the bag. My mother has an umbrella to put in my bag. I don't want to. My father says I'm selfish. On this trip, the journey took a long time, and my father and I talked about the meaning of this "selfish" noun in detail.
Dad said: "selfishness is actually very easy to explain. It is one thing at present, only for yourself, not for others. Everything revolves around your likes and dislikes, regardless of others." In a big way, it means ignoring the interests of the state, the collective and others ... "
"Your generation, the vast majority are only children, no brothers and sisters in the home, parents gave you all their love. Over time, they developed the style of a gentleman and a young lady. Of course, this is the term we used to use. If you can't change this habit, it will be very unfavorable for the future. "
I think of my cousin who is away from home. When she chats with me online, she always talks about her. She talked to me when she was busy or in a bad mood, but I wanted to talk to her about something I was interested in, but I was always rejected. Is this what Dad said about "selfishness"? No wonder I am very dissatisfied with my cousin's behavior.
Dad inspired me to look for the deeds of those heroes in the books I studied and to associate what is the antonym of selfishness. If it's all for personal benefit, you won't die. It is precisely because they gave up their personal interests that they have such a heroic feat of benefiting the country and the people. Lei Feng once famously said, "We should treat comrades with spring-like warmth, people with difficulties with summer-like enthusiasm, and individualism with ruthlessness like autumn wind sweeping away leaves ..." He said and did the same. Compared with his thoughts and actions, how ridiculous our words and deeds are.
Is "selfishness" really just the "patent" of our generation? I thought: no! Many brave soldiers are only children, and our friends are also active in many charitable activities. In social welfare activities, I often see my peers on the campus of our school. ...
Don't their actual actions show that they have given up their personal gains and losses and have a strong collectivism? Of course, our special position is easy to breed "selfish" bad morality, which is also the weak link of our generation. There are indeed many unsatisfactory phenomena around us. It is undeniable that our generation will show selfish behavior on different occasions, in different ways and to different degrees. This bad idea will corrode our moral quality and destroy our image. If it develops to a certain extent, it will be very unfavorable for us to set foot in society and take part in work in the future.
Therefore, we should understand the harmfulness of "selfishness". Any place, any time, any thing, no matter how big or small, we should seriously consider all kinds of interests, not just ourselves and others. This happens especially at home. Although mom and dad spoil us very much, we should consciously form the habit of respecting the old and loving the young. Start with the little things in daily life, start with everything around you, and think more about others.
In the community and social environment, we should abide by the law and discipline, observe the "seven irregularities", develop various good habits, and be a qualified ordinary citizen. We should actively participate in various beneficial activities and cultivate our own sentiments and mentality.
In school, students should always consider the collective interests and the needs of other students, help others, love the collective, and consciously overcome the habit of "selfishness"
Only in this way can we be strict with ourselves, gradually cultivate good ideology and morality, truly put an end to the bad habit of "selfishness" in thought and action, and become a popular person.
I told my father these thoughts, and my father said happily, "You have made progress. As long as you do what you just said, I believe you will become a good boy with excellent academic performance. "
Selfishness is a sword that harms nature. When will mankind wake up and stop hurting?
