Hey Friends, here's giving you the new Quote for all of you to discuss....

"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." - Albert Einstein

So... What do you think?

Do you believe this quote is true?

Do you believe in living for yourself or for others?

What if those 'others' don't care about you? Would you still want to live your life for them?

Do post your views, and I hope you like the quote of the week.

Do you believe this quote is true?
yes very much..coz there r many who live life there own way, but only those who live for others, make a difference to the world..

Do you believe in living for yourself or for others?
for both actually..kisi ko bhi ignore nahi karna chahiye..both r equally imp..

What if those 'others' don't care about you? Would you still want to live your life for them?

if those 'others' r some of ur really near n dear ones, fir toh w/o doubt live for them whether they care about u or not..but if they r actually 'others', then live life ur own way..the most imp thing is that we need to decide ourselves, who r the ones 4 whom we care for, who'll make an impact in r lives, and who r the ones who r with us only for the sake of being there

Nope. The use of the word 'Only' is far from true. You can do your duty religiously (it can be anything) and it will be worthwhile. Yes in this case you are most probably serving humanity indirectly but you're not really living a life for others, you're doing your duty.

On the other hand, in the past there were slaves who used to live their life for others. I don't think that really makes a worthwhile life.
Do you believe in living for yourself or for others?

First myself, then those who I care for and then comes everyone else.

What if those 'others' don't care about you? Would you still want to live your life for them?

To begin with am not thinking about them.

Do post your views, and I hope you like the quote of the week.

It's nice to be selfless and without ego. But at times if you have to just follow your heart and do your dharm.

Do you believe this quote is true?
For the most part but like I said it's important to fulfill one's own life ambition.
Do you believe in living for yourself or for others?
Both
What if those 'others' don't care about you? Would you still want to live your life for them?
I would want to help those who need my help even if they don't know me.

I think the Bhagavad Geeta speaks the truth. We should enjoy the higher pleaures like spiritual and intellectual pursuits. Too many people seem to be enjoying the lower pleasures of the senses like money, beauty, gluttony, fame etc. But the world is only temporary and pleasures of the senses are temporary. In my opinion the world is an illusion.
