Day 5
Although we can not deny the bad of our nature, as a matter of fact, we could do something. From my perspective, whatever we do, we should keep our conscience. Just as John Kenneth Galbraith in his article, "how to keep the poor off our conscience", argues that we should provide the social welfare to help the poor rather than to be blame the poor. It's not easy to hold it all the time, but we could be more considerate of other's feeling. Selfless will never bring you happiness. Just in our daily life, for example, when we driving, we could pay more patient and don't jostle against the other. When we getting on the bus which delayed long time, we are still able to line in a queue. For a long time, good and polite behaviours will become your habits. Although we are all ordinary people, even we do the slight things, we could do great achievements all together. On the other hand, we should keep compassion. When we meet the people who suffer the misery, we could not be indifferent. Just as the dialogues in the movie,"all for one and one for all". So just do something, to change yourself. We all are the intergal and have a same name human being.
