You do a lot of things in your life that aren't always what you want to be doing. People tell you to do things, you partake in volunteering or charity work, and spend your time doing things for others. Wouldn't it be nice to just sit, breathe, and do something for you once in a while? Something that you enjoy?
Why do we participate in things that we don't always love to be doing? Is it the nice person inside of us that wants to make everyone happy or is it just our mentality about life that drives us to do such things? I know that I'm probably too kind to people and I always end up in situations that involve helping someone else, but I enjoy those sorts of things.
I think that life isn't totally worthwhile unless you're spending it with other people and are working for something better. Without these things, I would feel empty. The happiness of others is something that always makes me smile, just knowing that I'm making a difference.
