Blog Entry 2.2: Alturist

Altruist refers to selflessness which concerns for the welfare of others. Altruist can be distinguished from feelings of loyalty and duty. Altruism focuses on a motivation to help others. In simple words, one who has an unselfish regard for or is devoted to the welfare of others.

The above picture I choose because it fits into me and I fall into this category. In this picture we can see that a woman giving benefit to poor is often considered altruistic action which refers to the selflessness manner. Not all people in the world have the selflessness manner. We first think of our needs and don’t think of others even though we some have the ability to do something for others.  

In this blog entry, I will talk about my elder sister and my family. Because of her kindness and helping to us, here we are in the United States living our life. She considered our needs before her own. I am also trying to do exactly what she has done for our family. She has spent her entire life to help us to establish our lives. She had just a hope that her brother (I) will come to America someday and will take care of her. She worked hard to take care of us. She didn’t save any funds for her own. It seems like she was born to help us to take care of us. Besides taking care of us, she used to help others in our village with finance. Our villagers still respect her and they are appreciated about her loyalty to them. She has been living in the United States for more than 20 years where for a young person this is enough time to make a good living life. My sister could make her own life but she always thought about us and her duty as an elder daughter. Now as I am an elder son of my family, I am engaging to her duty because she is now not able to do anything and I am trying to take care of her and my family. She has inspired me that what she could do that I can do. Now I think of her and my family’s needs first before mine. I always try to help them and try to solve their problems. I always try to help our poor villagers too with their everyday problems. Even though I live abroad, I talk to them over the phone listen to their needs and try to put as much as afford I can. I helped many of my friends in my country with their financial needs for their study. Because of my concern of selflessness today in my village I am a very respectful person as my elder sister. I always dream that when I will have a lot of money, I will try to make as many as poor people happy and their living.
