Go All Out

If you knew that you were dying from a disease, you might do all you could to not let it kill you.  Selfishness is a killer.  It is also addictive.  One is rarely selfish and self-absorbed every great while.  If you are selfish it is killing you.  The difficulty of selfishness as a killer is that it hides this reality.  You may be blind to it, ignorant of it, and stubborn too.  What is even sadder is that while it will destroy you it will also destroy others.  The cure begins with knowing you are selfish.  Things will fall into place after that.  I have found it so.
