No man is more cheated than the selfish man. – Henry Ward Beecher
The more selfish I am, the more I miss out. Hmmm. This is a great way to define selfishness because it doesn’t directly preach. I’m getting screwed!
My dad’s on his deathbed and it’s so clear to me that he’s missing out on so much with this unhappy death. He’s a selfish old bastard, so he’s getting screwed once last time. This legacy of selfishness is a powerful force within me. It’s not easy to change this about me.
Later, I walked by a Salvation Army bell ringer and tossed in pocket change. I rarely do this. It feels strange.
