Selfishness sure is ugly isn't it? I watch people work to take care of themselves, to the detriment of many others, and I am just amazed. Healthy people are willing to make sacrifices for the common good. They never hurt others intentionally and apologize if it should ever happen on accident.
Broken people are anxious and are consumed with self. Healthy people still have a self, but they are not selfish. They are able to live outside themselves and care for others. Have you noticed when all is well in our world, we are much better at being nice to others? And conversely, when we are consumed by some problem, we don't even see other people.
Every now and then it is a good idea to tell yourself that all is well. Tell your self to relax. Take a chill pill. It will all work out.
The moment we get our eyes off of our own mess, we can start to love others.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
