"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."
-C.S. Lewis
my inherit selfishness sometimes sickens me.
i suppose it is a comfort knowing that i'm not alone in that boat. we're all born pathetic & inherently selfish creatures. as a newborn we can do nothing for ourselves. we are at the mercy of our parents to care for us, to hold up our neck until we gain strength as we age. we can't even focus our eyes until that, too, is a learned experience.
at some point in my life i learned that my self was the most important person in my world. most likely because it was the common denominator in that world. i imagined my self doing this, that & the other; i primped myself; i experimented with my self, i hurt my self; & i stretched my self.
this entry alone shows my love of self & the word "self". what a cliché, but most likely not as clichéd as this site. that's a comfort.
