It really made me stop and think about the things I was being selfish about lately.
- I want more time to myself so I can sew and read books. I want to cut back on my volunteer activities so that I can do this.
- I want to live alone and not have a roommate.
- I want to be able to sit outside in the nice weather and just enjoy myself for a minute. (Again, I would have to cut back on my volunteer activities.)
- I want a raise at work, which means more money in my bank account and less money in the hands of homeless families.
I put so much passion into everything I do. I am self-absorbed. I am absorbed into my volunteer work, I am absorbed into working toward alleviating homelessness. I don't think those two things are so bad....
I think there are enough resources in the world for you to get a raise and not be taking from the homeless. I think you can give to yourself and not be taking from others. If anyone thinks you are selfish, they must be confused...
