Selfishness

I believe it is human nature to be selfish and it not necessarily a bad thing. Part of our natural instinct to achieve and protect ourselves. The problem is, that when you have to interact with other people it can be difficult to maintain your own selfishness and not step on the selfishness of others. We can only truly control ourselves and can only push ourselves towards our goals. It is indeed a fence that one must walk on, sometimes we stumble and we might hurt others. Sometimes we walk that line perfectly. It is not a bad facet of the human way. If we didn't have such a tendency, we would not ever grow and succeed, or find happiness. But it is a line that must be cautiously walked. I think if one is conscious of this, it makes those decisions easier.

my 2 cents for the day
