Simplified Meaning:
People often act in ways that benefit only themselves. Think about someone who cuts in line at the store. They do it to save time for themselves, not caring about others waiting patiently. Throughout history, many leaders have made decisions that helped them gain power or wealth, while ignoring the needs of their people. This shows that often, humans prioritize their own wants and needs over anyone else's. To avoid this, try to think about how your actions affect those around you. Being considerate and caring can lead to better relationships and a more harmonious community.
