Is it Selfish?

by Coinneail   May 28, 2008


Is it selfish to want to be happy?
Though to gain this happiness, another sort has to be left.
That one happiness is traded for another?

Is it selfish that I pursue what I've always wanted to?
Though to pursue this I leave other things I've wanted.
These people, things, ideas... are all wanted fully.

Is it selfish that I want to grow?
Though to grow I must give myself space to do so.
This meaning leaving this space for another.

Is it selfish I want to leave what I lack here?
Though to leave this would hurt others.
I don't want to harm in anyway, the ones I love most.

So I ask you, my friends, am I being selfish?
I don't want to be, so tell me.
