When I was a baby I was all about myself. This is normal for babies. Instant gratification is the norm or else I will make a racket. Now I am an adult. I am supposed to get out of myself and be of use to others, to learn to listen, to have compassion and become more selfless. I forget sometimes. OK. I forget a lot of times. The baby lives inside of me and wrestles the world for attention. Unfortunately, I do not look like a baby, so people don't give me instant gratification. I am not the center of anyone's attention. My Mom is not around to pick up after me. And so it goes. My friends, what ones I have left, given this bad behavior, remind me when I am in my baby mode. "Oh, you are whining again," they say. Yuck! Usually, this goes hand in hand with ignoring my morning prayers.
