Who do you think is more important - you, your family or others?
Who do you think is more important – you, your family or others?
In life we constantly get told to sometimes put people ahead of us, in terms of being nice and polite; but then we get told to be selfish at times, however in a life threatening situation who would you pick? In this essay I am going to explore different sides to this question, in a scenario in which you would have to pick someone, who would it be? Firstly I am going to be talking about myself, why I would or wouldn’t pick myself in a particular circumstance.
I think I am very important in life, as every decision I make will affect me. Things I say or do reflect back on me as a person and throughout life I will probably pay more attention to myself as I grow older. I am quite important because all the choices I make will make an impact on me. Depending on the situation I would pick myself. For example if I was trying out for a sports team and it was between myself and somebody else to make the team I would make myself look better so I would get the place. In this kind of scenario I would be selfish because I really want something I would go out of my way to get that, especially something competitive; I would put myself first. In a situation where simply I am standing in a line at a supermarket and someone behind me only has one item, I would let them go in front of me because they only have one item which won’t take long and it’s just being nice and friendly. I am showing that I care and wouldn’t mind them going ahead of me in the queue.
