Can you live your life peacefully? Do you believe that anything happening around you needs you? Is your basic nature selfish? Think about yourself for a minute.
I won't say that I understand human behavior, it'll be nonsense. Human behavior is inscrutable at worst and highly complex at best. Psychology is not an exact science, it will never be. But my only question lies in that do you really feel the sadness around you? Or you see it in yourself? Are you living as a human or an individual?
We should live our life for others and we should sacrifice some things for our parents, friends and beloved ones to make them happy but never sacrifice your aim and what you want to do with your life. We human beings are dependent on one another and help each other for example we need a barber to cut our hair, a driver to take us where ever we want, we need a teacher to make us learn and we need a doctor when we are sick, an engineer to make our life comfortable etc (each and everyone has their own important role). Like this we help each other in one way or an another. For example we learn each and everything from others from what if a teacher thinks why should I teach than there will be end of knowledge. What you know should be passed on to younger generations thats what life higher purpose is service to others.
The more we move out of ourselves is in direct proportion to the variety of life we can experience. We never want to keep having the same thing. More we think about ourselves the more problems are coming. If we enjoy with others, have a good laugh then we forget about our problems.
Our life is about relationships and we want harmonious and positive relationships with others. But most important relationship is relationship with God through our heart.
Living for others means living to please others, living for external validation & approval, and caring about what others think. You're setting your goals based on what others want for you (like your parents), or chasing what society deems as success.
