In nutshell, selfless lives are lead by divine doctrine and they are eventful . One of such life is Hannah's life(1Samuel 1). She had to face many insults and hardships in her life. But she maintained a non-retaliating attitude which can be done only by selfless personalities. She went through all pains, because of selfless mentality and in turn that made changes even in her physiology. She was a barren lady, but she gave birth to a child at last. In selfless lives spiritual principles works vigorously and do miracles .
Another example is Paul the apostle. He was a Jew by birth. But one day, unexpectedly, his life changed . He began to lead a quite different life. He was well known among Jews in Roman Empire. He born and brought up in a noble family and educated under Gamaliel, the famous teacher among Jews. He abandoned all these facilities and titles. He starved for the sake of his mission and traveled all over the Roman Empire.He faced persecutions not only from enemies but also from fouls brothers. According to the bible his possessions were his parchments and a blanket that he left in Troas(2Thimoty 4:13), so he reminds Timothy to bring it back, because,we know when we read bible, to buy one might have been beyond his capacity. If we make a close study of life of Paul , we can see that he is the one and only man who shook the powerful Roman empire so powerfully. This happened not because of his wealth or weapons or the multitude of people behind him. The selfless life and thereby the principles in which he believed worked in him vigorously. If we want to know the real picture, we have to go through history of Roman empire and the information provided by encyclopedia.
These are the two examples to prove that principles work only in selfless lives. Most often what happen is selfish people twist the principles for their selfish existence thereby bring bad reputation for the principles and scriptures.
