The world doesn’t revolve around anyone. People are going to need to make compromises for others along the way. But, thinking for yourself once in a while is never bad, as long as no one takes advantage of anyone.

ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others. However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Once the ISTJ realizes the emotional needs of those who are close to them, they put forth effort to meet those needs.

Pure altruism consists of giving something of value with no expectation of any compensation or benefits, either direct, or indirect.

Helping others is my true happiness, and my ego too. I don’t wanna be seen as a selfish person. When I know that I can do something, I’ll do it.

People shouldn’t be dwelling much into what today really celebrates. Focus on the fact that this season is about giving and kindness, heck everyday should be, and the celebration of whatever the fuck you want to celebrate. :) As for me, I’ll be celebrating one of my heroes’ birthday. Happy Newtonmas!

Yesterday, my brother and I are walking to the church. We didn’t really wanna go because we were both tired from work. But since it was Father’s day and our dad is away, I thought that’s the least we could do to celebrate since he is a very religious person. As we were walking, a lady came up to us and asked us for a favor. She told us that she lives in another town that’s 600km from us and she had a fight with her husband. Then she asked us from some spare change because the money she had for the bus ticket to go back to her home is short. So, being nice people, we gave her change. We even gave her more than she asked us just to make sure. She said thanks and we said bye. As we were getting near the church, I thought “That’s all? We didn’t even ask her if she’s gonna be okay. We didn’t even tell her any reassurance and comforted her.” Then my brother said, “She doesn’t look sad or anything that can make her look that she’s having any problems.” So I thought, “Hmm. Maybe that’s why we didn’t. If she was bawling and all, maybe that’s when my sympathetic actions will kick in.” But I still thought it’s unusual. Then he added “Plus, she wasn’t even that grateful when she said thanks. If she’s really in that situation, she should have shown more emotion, right?” Then I remembered what happened twice at work yesterday. I had one customer last week and he didn’t had enough money to pay. It was only a few cents so he decided to go home to get some more money but I told him that a few cents isn’t a big deal. He thanked me and wished that I have a very good day. I saw the happiness in his eyes as he walked out the store. Then I saw him again yesterday and he is still very grateful. Another customer yesterday was buying something, and this time, he was short a couple dollars. And again, I told him to leave the rest on me. He thanked me and even did the hand-body gesture Japanese people do when saying ‘thank you’. I thought it was very funny because he is white and then I thought jokingkly “Dude! I am Asian, but I ain’t Japanese. You think all Asian people are the same? Racist!” But that goes to show how thankful he was. So I thought, if these people shown there gratitude like that. How come that lady didn’t? This might be a hypocrite move or not, but my brother and I did give out suspicious comments. We like to joke around. We even thought why she should have asked from the church instead, since we saw her walking from there, too. Then my brother said, “Maybe she got too embarrassed.” Then I replied, “Embarrassed? Shouldn’t it be more okay to ask from people there rather than asking two teenagers that look like they don’t give a fuck?” But I told him “If she, in fact, is lying about what happened to her, we shouldn’t have any problems because we tried to help. That’s all her’s and her conscience.” What do you guys think?
