Selflessness


The one thing I cannot live without 

is the one thing we cannot live without.

Societies, governments, countries, communities;

we all do not exist alone. 

In today's world, you"re probably thinking I"m talking about your phone. 

No, it's something so opposite.

If life was a candle, is only lit,

when we give. 

Selflessness breeds love, happiness, prosperity, and the ability to live.

We cannot exist alone.

The beginning of time and society even depended on someone giving up one of their bones.

To live

is to give.

We all need each other.
