we are selfish!!

it is very nice or rather pleasant to meet somebody from the same place or same city in an altogether different place, a place which is equally alien to both of them. people in such a situation tend to forget their differences, caste, status and all the horrible things they would have thought about twice had they met in the place where they originally are from.for instance, in muscat - there are many indians or to be specific bangaloreans, delhites etc etc who always bond very well with the people from their own place. they would not mind of their acquaintance' low status till they meet with another person from the same place but a position like their own in the society. human mind and behaviour is so delicate. we are very selfish. we always have the feeling to be wanted or cared for. we want to make ourselves comfortable at the cost of somebody else's feelings. we use people. i dont say that there are nice people also. but majority of them - including me; are selfish in some way or the other. so how do we make amends for this behaviour of ours???
