Question

how do you usually understand the idea of selfishness do you agree with kisagotami that she was being selfish in her grief​

Answer 1

Answer :

'Selfishness' is 'thinking of oneself only, without caring about the situation of others’.

Kisa Gotami indeed got selfish in her grief initially. She was grieving the loss of her son and went around house to house in order to find a medicine for her dead son without comprehending that this would lead to others getting reminded about their lost loved ones.

Answer 2

When we are concerned excessively with ourselves without having a regard for others, we tend to be selfish.

Kisa Gotami became weary and hopeless after she was unable to get a handful of mustard that could save her son. Sitting at the wayside all alone and seeing the darkness engulfing the place, she realised the truth about the destiny of human beings. She had understood that death is common to all and no one can escape it. She also realized that she was being selfish in her grief. She had inflicted pain on others by reminding them of their grief. She had been thinking about just her son and her grief.
