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)

You can never be satisfied if you are not satisfied NOW.

You can never be satisfied if you are not satisfied NOW. One reason for this is that there is no future, no past, no present just NOW, And every feeling, emotion, and dissatisfaction is just the changes in NOW. So if you're not satisfied now, you can never be satisfied ever again. Another reason is that our life will not change as drastically as we think in our imagination, even after we achieve whatever we want, or whatever we think will change our life. There will be changes, but they seem tiny and small over a period of time. So, learning to be completely satisfied with now and not relying on your hopes for the changes in now is the most important skill. And understand this, that there might be a kind of FOMO (fear of missing out) we will always have, and it's not an unrealistic one. Like, if we choose to do business, we are automatically negating all the other possible career options, And it can be applied to any other aspect of life, like marriage. If you get married to on...

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...

Heat Engine!

  Heat Engines! Engines are machines designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy. But commonly machines that acquire heat from the combustion of fuel and transform a part of this heat energy into mechanical energy are called heat engines or simply engines. One of the greatest advantages of a heat engine is that most forms of energy can be easily converted into heat by different processes than heat engine converts it into mechanical energy. Heat engines can be classified into two major types, as follows: ·      External Combustion Engines. ·      Internal Combustion Engines. External Combustion     Internal Combustion
