“There’s no such thing as the perfect soulmate. If you meet someone and you think they’re perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction. ‘Cos your soulmate is the person that pushes all your buttons, pisses you off on a regular basis, and makes you face your shit.” -Madonna
•Posted at 10:55amI can honestly say that you’re right. Whenever I do ANYTHING, for ANYONE, I do think about how it’ll benefit me, no matter how big or small. I think it’s human nature to do so. Even in biology class we learned about ‘symbiotic relationships’ -two organisms using each other for their advantage.
There are times however, when I will do something, knowing that I won’t benefit from it. I think that’s the “test” of friendship. Are we willing to do things for others without getting anything in return? For the most part, I do go out of my way for other people, even if they don’t do the same for me. It makes ME feel good that I did something nice, so in a way, I am benefiting.
