selfishness

Power without compassion is like a giant that blocks the sunlight.

Neither your position in society, nor power, nor dignity, nor selfishness, nor even personal promotion should enslave you

More often than not, people who are obsessed with their desires and feelings are generally unhappier in life vs. people that refocus their attention on service to others or a righteous cause.

There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.

If your love for another person doesn__ include loving yourself then your love is incomplete.
