Always thinking of yourself

by Jason   Apr 8, 2004


Fighting for my where about’s in this world
Fighting for happiness
Fighting for love
Fighting for power, money, and the temptation of fame
Fighting for all, except for he or she who truly loves me

Always wanting to better myself and the physical things around me, but never really thinking of the long run, just basically thinking of how it can solely help me. As a man with wishes and hopes; always dreaming, always thinking, basically killing myself slowly, and not really thinking about others in the situation. Wondering about my present state of being, thinking of my past, hoping for a good future, always just basically thinking of myself.

Who am I to act like this? This world is not mine, this body, these clothes, my heart, the air that I breathe, it was all given to me. Why am I as a man/woman, so greedy? Always wanting more for myself and never really looking at what truly lies under the total amount of servings I receive.

Looking at the big picture, the truth has jumped into my face, laid me on the ground and told me to not be afraid, to not try so hard in helping others, but in helping them help their-selves. The truth that lies in you is also what lies in them, all man has greed at some time in their mind, because wanting and getting are going to come to the mind while in this world, and that will be at a certain moment when they are met with money, and the physical oddities of the world, when that is to come, you can only try to be a good person, do not hurt yourself by doing so, but do try. And that’s all you need, so stop worrying and just be the best that you know you can be.
