Are we all selfish?


Bonjour!
The rubric may make no sense to you as it does to me when I read a post in my friend's blog emphasizing on "We all are selfish!". I strongly condemned his saying retorting that sometimes we care more of our dear ones just to see them happy and that ways we are indeed caring more of them of them and not us..so how does that makes us selfish? And his reply really left me flabbergasted as he said "we do that coz that makes us happy as well!" It took time but lately, I got into the depth and realized what he wanted to say..I was impressed!!
We generally don't do things that doesn't interests us and now here the moot point enters, does not doing something that is not in our interests justify our being selfish? Well it certainly does...
Okay! lets take it this way...The dictionary meaning of selfish says giving chief importance to one's own interests as compared to others interests. Don't we give primary importance to our own interest rather than others, though it may lead to someone's happiness that makes us smile, someone's sorrows coz we want to see him/her that way etc. Osama Bin Laden, one who epitomizes hedonism, it won't be wrong to categorize him as a selfish person as he killed thousands of innocent lives because it interests him, and most of you will agree with it. Now, let us consider the mogul Mother Teresa, she saved thousands of lives, showed a way to lacs of orphans coz she found peace in helping others. And if I say she was selfish, most of you would be ready to wallop me...u know why coz we usually misinterpret selfish as a negative word and thats where my friend got a point that it should not be considered as negative. It z a feeling that everyone of us has got, and though we don't aim it but most of the things we do comes out of our selfish nature!! Give it a thought...
au revoir(Goodbye!)

WWW under one web page-Google

I have been using internet from the past 5-6years, and must say, Internet strictly fits into the words-"Everything under one roof!". Everything here means everything let it be friends, shopping, movies, music, banking etc. Within this time span I have seen internet growing with different sites which makes u feel that there z something more you can search for. But one thing thats been constant is Google(constant not in its operation but constant as in the sites I've been exploring since my early-internet-days). Sometimes it seems that internet is shrinking and we have limited ourselves to some of the exemplary sites as wikipedia, youtube, orkut, GOOGLE! Is it so?
Google is named after a mathematical term GOOGOL which refers to a numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. Ever since its nascent state from september 1998, Google has never seen a declining phase. Founded by luminaries Larry Page and Sergrey Bran, Google reflects the mission of organizing the infinite amount of information available on net. Do you have a query? No worries, just type the words "google.com" in your address bar and all you need is to put your query in words. Google has answers to all your queries and that too just a click away! With many of big search engines like Yahoo, ask.com; Google acquires 65% of search world..Isn't it great? The hegemony of Google comes through the adoption of the algorithms it uses to make the search efficient & meet the requirements of the user. In this computer era, Google efficaciously serves all the purposes of a search engine and that is the reason, IT IS BEST!!
