“Altruism is innate, but it’s not instinctual. Everybody’s wired for it, but a switch has to be flipped.”
David Rakoff
This is a simple video photo shoot of me holding a white neon saying altruism. I feel that many people that I admire have altruism and it makes them happy and everyone around them who they meet happy too.
This is the definition of altruism:
Selfless concern for the well-being of others, without care for one’s own interests; unselfishness.
However, I feel altruism isn’t just about selfless concern for others as even just being happy and working to make oneself happy is incredibly altruistic as it is more of a less self-conscious kindness towards others.
Mary MacKillop Australia’s Saint said this about making others happy:
“Find happiness in making others happy”
Mary MacKillop
So, in a way this quote by MacKillop is a simple definition of how altruism works.
Anyway, this is just my ideas about spiritualism in action only for myself to process.
