SELFISHNESS.

Selfishness is the highest form of virtue according to me. Why am I saying that? let may explain. 

Let me divide selfishness into selfishness without understanding, and selfishness with understanding.

 When we talk about selfishness, we most often talk about selfishness without understanding. In a conventional saying of that word, we mean that a person thinks only of himself, and his benefits and do not care about other people, only cares about his well-being, and for him, other's well-being does not exist at all. Others might be people, family, animals, birds, trees, environment, future generations, ETC. This is selfishness without understanding.

 When you question yourself, you realize that there is no actual difference between 'YOU' and 'YOUR  ENVIRONMENT'. YOU are the ENVIRONMENT. Or in another way, YOU are the SOCIETY. To have the well-being of oneself You must also have the well-being of everything. You can't be happy when people around you are sad. You can't live prosperous life when other people around you are not living one. one can't live a well-being life when our environment does not support it. You can't be healthy when your environment is not. So, you realize that thinking about myself is to think about everything. Your 'YOU' has broadened. This is selfishness with the understanding.

You realize to be actually selfish you have to be genuinely selfless.

Not acting it out, but just understanding will make us one.



Now you are kind to people, not because of them, but because you are selfish. You are honest not because you are caring for other people, rather you care for yourself and want everyone around you to be honest with you. You care for the environment, not because you love nature, trees, plants, animals, etc, but because you can't survive healthily in an unhealthy environment. You become trustworthy not because you are, but because you want to have people who are trustworthy to you. You are genuinely selfless just because you actually embrace your selfishness.

From this perspective,

'True Selfishness' is the highest form of virtue one can have.


(Disclaimer: These thoughts are based on my present understanding and THIS IS FROM A STANDPOINT. My understanding may change. don't take it too seriously)

What Is The Shape of Planetary Orbit? And What Is Kepler's First Law of Planetary Motion?

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, celestial bodies dance through the void in intricate and mesmerizing patterns. For centuries, humanity gazed upon the heavens, seeking to decipher the celestial choreography. Among those who dedicated their lives to unraveling these celestial mysteries, Johannes Kepler stands as a luminary figure. His first law of planetary motion, unveiled in the early 17th century, revolutionized our understanding of how planets move through space. At the heart of Kepler's first law lies a simple yet profound revelation, planets do not follow perfectly circular paths in their orbits around the Sun, as had been previously believed. Instead, they trace elliptical orbits. This departure from circularity opened Pandora's box of questions and insights, forever altering our understanding of the cosmos. An ellipse is a geometric shape resembling a flattened circle, characterized by two focal points rather than a single center. In the context of planetary motion, th...

Atom To Cell.

In this blog, we will discuss about the difference between the atom and the cell. Why atom is not the fundamental unit of life? and a journey of an atom to a cell. Firstly, what is the difference between an atom and a cell?  Atom is the fundamental unit of the entire matter, whereas cell is the fundamental unit of living matter. which means every cell is made up of atoms, whereas every atom is not a cell. Size of atom vs the size of cell The size of the atom ranges between 10 to the power minus 14 meters i.e. picometer (pm) to 10 to the power of minus 10 meters i.e. Armstrong. To visualize it, magnify an apple to that of the size of Earth, And now the size of the original apple is probably the size of an atom of this giant apple (from the book: six easy pieces). Whereas the size of the cell ranges between 10 to the power of minus 6 meters i.e. micrometers to 10 to the power of minus 2 meters i.e. centimeters. The overall conclusion about the size of atoms and cells is that an atom ...

Gyroplane, A fascinating plane that can become your Taxi.

The aviation industry is full of fascinating and interesting machines with unique designs, capabilities, and mechanisms. Among these Gyroplane or Autogyro holds a unique place as it bothers some features of fixed-wing planes and some features of helicopters and becomes a perfect blend for a low-speed aircraft with high fuel efficiency and better stability and control. using very interesting phenomena like auto rotation to spin its top rotor and produce lift. So in this blog, we will be discussing what is autogyro? how does an autogyro work? and the future of autogyro. What is AutoGyro or Gyroplane? A gyroplane or autogyro (from the Greek word meaning ('self turning'), is a heavier-than-air aircraft that uses a rotor usually to the rare of the fuselage called pusher configuration to produce thrust. Autogyro uses an engine to power its rare rotor, which creates the forward motion of the airplane by pushing the air backward. To produce lift it uses another rotor, which, unlike a h...
