Selfishness
We are so caught up in our own little worlds that we forget to see the bigger picture. Our own insignificant suffering is nothing compared to what others are going through. Yet, we blow it out of proportion and victimize ourselves, because we are that selfish and self centered...
At least I am. I've always been the center of my own Universe, this universe filled with superficiality and shallow dreams and unrewarding desires... Always blowing my sorrows to proportions so discrepant to reality! Where am I in my head? No wonder eighty percent of the time I don't trust my own judgement.
This need to be catered to, to be sheltered, loved and this self-victimizing, not only is it not beneficial to me or anyone else, but it is stupid, unproductive, inconsiderate! I despise myself in this instance for demanding so much and giving so little in terms of compassion.
But we are microcosmoses in and within ourselves... Tiny or huge, the pain of each and every one of us encompasses the pain of the World...
