Selfish

Today was one of those long dreary days where you just ask yourself... When will the day end? haihz... Just another long, drab, drag, weary and boring day.... First period: Science, sub teacher, 2nd period: Math, exam... 3rd Period: CALM, a ridiculous class... a fool's errand, lost cause, wasted effort.... haihz....

Egoistic, egocentric, egotistic and egomaniacal..... All of which enfolds these three letters: Ego ; however, at the very same time, these words represent the grudging and voracious word: Selfishness... Children are warned by their parents at a young age that this greedy word is not a trait of honour or respect... most parents are careful to teach their children the depth of this word as their children bloom into adolescents... Adults try their best to set a good example for younger children to discard this rapacious word full of jealousy and stuck-up ignorance... And yet... yet... All children end up being self-centered at one point or another... Some more than others... If it is to betray a friend for the convenience of yourself, or to abandon your parents as they age silently... Despite everything, selfishness is all about "YOU"... and you only...

This goes unexplained but... when a stranger realizes a person is selfish... The blame immediately turns to the parents... "their parents must be selfish" or "they have bad parents" or the all so famous "they must have got that from their parents".... Despite the fact that the parents have busted the necks to educate their children, the blame remains hanging over their shoulders... Despite the fact that the parents are the most giving people within a 500mile radius, they are still to blame... Despite the fact that the parents are saints and try their best to prevent harm such as this word, Selfish, to prevail amongst their children, the fingers blatantly point towards them... Ignorant fingers of the malicious society... All of whom remain hypocrites, backsliders... hiding shamelessly behind the masks of the rotten society....
