Years ago, there was a "Friends" episode in which Phoebe argued that there are no selfless acts because when we do something nice for someone else we feel good about ourselves.
Today, I was watching "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction." David Letterman and Jerry Seinfeld were discussing the same concept. Dave suggested that helping or entertaining others is selfish because it makes you feel good about yourself. Jerry argued that helping or entertaining others is the most important thing you can do because you are doing something that makes others happy, and that is the greatest pursuit.
In "The Book of Joy" by the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, they suggest that the best way to happiness is in helping others.
This blog is my attempt to help others feel happy.
So, enjoy the moments you can and help others do the same.
