Life subsists on other life. Tigers eating antelope, strong countries conquering weak ones, big corporation buying little ones, banking houses ensnaring whole nations in perpetual debt are really almost the same thing.
When they look at you, every one of those stinking "other people" is calculating the benefits, on the one hand, of being your friend and showing you lovingkindness, and, on the other hand, of ripping you off by violence or by deceit. Each of them has a three-way choice between friendship, force, or fraud.
Occasionally, the answer to that calculation will be in favor of friendship. But most of the time, exploitation will have the higher benefit sum. If you don't want to be mugged, be strong. If you don't want to be tricked, be smart. If you can be neither, then this is not the world for you.
If you don't like these conditions of the world, you can do either of two things: (1) die or (2) change the world. But before you begin to change the world, you need to understand that the world is as it is because it serves the interests of certain people very well. When you begin to change the world, those well-served people will fight you, and they're rather strong.
Since a fight cannot be avoided, you should reconcile yourself in advance to not surviving a serious attempt to change the world. If by some lucky chance you do, then it will be a nice surprise. Some world-changers fight to change the world because they, themselves, hope to rake in the benefits afterward. Others fight so that their grandchildren can do so. Still others fight so that their "larger family," their race, will have a better future. And there are a few who really do "fight the good fight" just because they believe that they should.

Hi Paul Raj:
A couple of questions earlier, someone asked if it really mattered whether spelling was correct or not. And it does. Your question is a perfect example. Let's assume you are talking about humanity. Or is it humility? Or what the heck ARE you trying to say? Your question is telling me that you really don't give a damn what I think, you're just blathering. If you were really interested in having a discussion about humanity, or humility, or humanaty, whatever that might be (it sounds like a kind of cous cous) then you would put together a sentence that would respect me, as a reader, rather than publishing an ego-centric whine on a vague topic.

reason behind every thing that one does is "love".... If some one hurts you then the reason behind that is their love for some one or some thing else.... nothing exists without love

everything people do they do for themselves, thats not to say that everyone is like that, compassion is the key to life, people are selfish through and through!
