We spend most of our lives in front of a
sort of mirror. We only see ourselves, we are totally self-engrossed, we can't
help thinking of ourselves...all the time. Peruvian-American author Carlos Castaneda said: "You
take yourself too seriously." Is this what we really do? Why? Our human
nature leads us towards self-preservation, towards the acquisition of
happiness, towards experiencing pleasure and avoiding pain. All this is right,
fair, natural. It's only when we forget the needs of others, or when we expect
others to live in order to fulfill our needs that we become
"selfish".
