Prayer for Day 14.
Dear Lord, please bring your peace and help me out of this

The intrinsic worth of gem resides in the hearts of many, with appreciating values as the interiors increase in the wealth of goodness.
Many philospohers debate about the inherent selfishness of humans, and the source of most of our seemingly philanthropic actons lie in the promptings of selfish desires or self centered reasons. Interestingly, this is known as as psychological egoism. Quite sad isn't it? That humanity has evolved into such a situation where every action is questioned and accused to have a dark motive behind it.

I maintain that to a certain extent, this holds true, but to say that all our conduct is based on instinctive selfishness and pleasure is rather extreme and goes rather far. I am not standing up for humanity, just in my beliefs, that we do possess an innate capacity to show benelovance and altruism to others. I would like hedonism to be my guide in life, the doctrine that happiness is the sole or chief good in life.

We all have the gift of judgement in good or bad, so let's not exploit, and in fact let the gems in us grow.
