“That which is selfish is immoral, and that which is unselfish is moral”
— Swami Vivekananda

Simplified Meaning:
When someone thinks only about themselves and their own needs, it is not considered good behavior. For example, if a person sees someone struggling to carry heavy bags but does nothing to help, thinking it’s not their problem, this is seen as selfish. On the other hand, if that same person stops to help carry those bags, putting in effort to make things easier for someone else, their actions are seen as good and kind. This is because they are not just thinking about themselves; they are caring about others, too. Being unselfish means you think about how your actions affect other people and you try to make their lives better. So, to live a moral life, it’s important to be kind and consider the needs of others, not just your own desires.
