Allow Me to Introduce Ourselves

Everybody is selfish. Everybody looks out for themselves. Do things which only benefit them, whether gratifications come instantly or are set to mature. This is what makes human. To acknowledge is to be honest. To be honest acknowledging it is to be aware. To be aware is power gained. The power to do something about it. Most people do not. In fact, they not only acknowledge it, they embrace it like a hidden affair that they do not want others to know, or would ever admit to having.

This very essence corrupts even the most beautiful person. The outward beauty of the person may remain, but inside they are rotten and decayed. As time goes by, it will be seen on the outside as well. Like how the living rot inside destroys everything and eventually the artificiality that is the husk.

Now most people will first think that my meaning of selfish is that of a person who is greedy and only does stuff for himself or the opposite of being generous. This is only a fraction of what selfishness is. There are many things a person does or does not, which can also be a selfish act.

Let me get one thing clear for you lame-men out there. Selfish does not mean a person who vendors fish. '-ish' is added to give some form of approximate value. Like foolish. Fool. Foolish. See it working? More to come in future writings.
