Agenda

I believe that everyone, whatever they say or do, they have an agenda.
I believe that only young children do not have agenda, guess because they have the purest of souls.
As those young children grow older, they know that to get something they want (for us adults too), there must be some kind of plan.
I am not here to judge if having an agenda is good or bad.

Let's see if I can make this example make sense. A lonely person, appears to be very helpful and a very good listener. This lonely person is always available when friends needed them. So, does this person really wants to lend an ear and a helping hand? OR just because they are lonely, they needed to be with any human beings therefore appeared to be a helpful person? So the person's hidden agenda would be, they don't wanna be lonely? Does that make sense to you? I thought about this all the time. Why do I spend time to listen or to talk to ppl? Why would ppl spend they time to listen to me? Is it because we are all lonely ppl? Frankly, I do not believe one does not have a hidden agenda at any given day, hour, or minute. Of course unless you are a two year old child. And I also believe that all human beings are selfish beings. Sometimes, I wonder those ppl who got famous by doing their charitable work. Are they really that selfless? OR because they are hunger for fame?


Do you believe this helping hand is utterly selfless and without any hidden agenda?

yea.. sometimes i think people do charity for their own publicity... i'm also pondering about my hidden purpose of doing charity. Do I really do it for the needy? Or just wanna show to people that i'm a charitable person.

Oh.. I sound so fake, but I'm trying to be more truthful to myself and others.
