I Blog Poetry and Prose

One of the most selfless act anyone can perform, is going into a burning or collapsing building to save the life of a stranger. A selfless act I witnessed in my own life, was my mother working nights and swing shift to feed four hungry and, sometimes, selfish children. All acts of selflessness bring some type of reward, which doesn't make the act less selfless. Indeed every act a human being performs on the material plane brings some type of reward. Sometimes we know what the reward is and sometimes we have to wait until the soul and body separate at the moment of physical death to find out the reward. For some human beings the selfless act is more important than the reward, and for others the reward is the most important part of the act. Each human being must look at their own motivations and be honest with themselves to determine whether the selfless act is more important or the reward.
