Chapter 15 Section 4 Two Selfish Christians?

Selfishness is the root of all evil. ? ?

Once upon a time, there were two devout and good Hindus who decided to go on a pilgrimage to a distant holy mountain together.The two put their bags on their backs and set out on the road in a hurry, vowing that they would never return home until they reached the Holy Mountain. ?
The two believers walked and walked, and after walking for more than two weeks, they met an elderly saint.Seeing them traveling thousands of miles to the holy mountain, the holy man was very touched and told them: "It is ten days' walk from here to the holy mountain, but unfortunately, I will part with you at this crossroads." .And before breaking up, I want to give you a gift! What kind of gift? That is, if one of you makes a wish first, his wish will definitely come true immediately; while the second person can get twice the wish!" ?
At this time, one of the believers thought to himself: "This is great, I already know what I want to make a wish, but I can't say it first, because if I make a wish first, I will suffer and he can have double Gift!" And the other believer also thought to himself: "How can we tell him first and let him get twice the gift?" So the two believers began to be polite. ?
"You are older, you should make a wish first!" "No, you should make a wish first!" The two believers pushed each other back and forth. ?
After a "polite" refusal, the two became impatient, and the atmosphere changed: "What are you doing? Tell me first!" "Why should I talk first? I don't want it!"?
The two pushed to the end, and one of them got angry and said loudly: "Hey, you are really an ignorant person, if you don't make a wish again, I will break your leg and strangle you to death!"?
When the other person heard this, he didn't expect his friend to change his face and come to threaten him!So I thought, if you are so ruthless and ungrateful, I don't have to be too affectionate and righteous to you!You can't get what I can't get!Therefore, this believer simply broke his heart and said cruelly: "Okay, I will make a wish first! I hope—one of my eyes will be blind!"?
Soon, the believer lost his sight in one eye, and his good friend who was walking with him also lost his sight in both eyes immediately. ?

Selfishness seems to be a kind of human nature, because there will be an "I" in everyone's heart.But selfishness should be kept within a reasonable range. If it crosses the line, selfishness will cause great harm to yourself and others. ?
Psychologists suggest that people should prevent selfishness in time, and often reflect on themselves. As the saying goes, "I examine myself three times a day", and then do more altruistic things. ?
