IF THE ONLY PRAYER YOU SAID IN YOUR LIFE WAS "THANK YOU", THAT WOULD SUFFICE. ~Meister Eckhart

Selfishness

I must overcome my selfishness. I must cease trying to forgive those who fretted and wronged me. It is a mistake for me even to think about these injuries. I must aim at overcoming myself in my daily life and then I will find there is nothing in me that remembers injury, because the only thing injured, my selfishness, is gone. ~Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Do you think selfishness comes from having felt left out somewhere in our pasts?Like a need that was never met..just simple needs that added up to some of us growing up needing to be selfish for awhile? I haven't felt selfish for a long time but when I think back to when I was ... I don't understand why.There must be a reason ..deep down.
anyways...having a day..big dark cloud hanging over my house..for real..
thanks for sharing.
