Personality: the Broken Record

Personality: The Broken Record

            Every time you ask for just a little piece, or something of minimal value, or even a favor, it’s never granted. Resistant until the end, these people are the very epitome of a selfish asshole. Like an IPod put on repeat they say the same things over, and over, no matter what pleas of assistance or favors you ask, they will continue to give you the cold shoulder. These people that I know will forever bother me until the end of my days on this earth.

            In my personal experience, being the middle child of three kids in a family of five I have had a lot of sharing to do in my life. So much so in fact, that it has practically become second nature and it has given me the actual values of things. It helps me get over losing something that I wanted, but didn’t necessarily need. Without even thinking I give away small things all the time, just recently I gave someone food that I bought and they couldn’t get because they didn’t have money. It didn’t seem like much from me but it actually made them really happy and thanked me for it. It’s a great quality to have because it gives a sense of reason and thankfulness for what you already have. What is a horrible quality to have is selfishness. The exact opposite of what I am. Now as always I’m nowhere near perfect and I still have my moments of selfishness if the desire is strong enough, but I’m talking moreover about those whose selfishness has practically become part of their essence and being. Codename: The Broken Record, because all they ever say is no. Either that or they just give a bunch of excuses as to why they need it more than you do, which is mostly made up bullshit just for the purpose of not sharing. It’s these people that make me so angry because they keep something so small and insignificant to their lives from people who could really use it. It seems so silly to be upset with those who ask for small favors and not want to share with them. Now it’s a different story if the person who is asking for something does so on the daily because then that’s just them taking advantage of the person who is giving. To me it seems so silly to not want to share something with someone because it will always no matter how small of a gift creates a bond with that person. It may be invisible, but both the giver and receiver can feel it no matter how small it is they subconsciously think about that connection. It feels good to receive from someone but it feels so good to give to someone on you own accord.

            I ask of all of you reading this to not be that person. Evaluate yourselves and see if you have indeed, received more than you have given and start to give if you haven’t already. Being selfish is a horrible thing and it’s a vicious cycle that will catch up to you eventually if you don’t stop. Because selfish people don’t turn out the greatest in the future. As always guys, Thanks for reading! Love you all. Peace!
