My thought for today is selfishness. A true definition of selfishness is not just the act of looking after oneself, but also the disregard or contempt that the self-focus has on others. The tenth step in the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous encourages us to be on the lookout for selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear because it is one of the four primary defects of character that most of us are afflicted with. Selfishness is the belief that you are the only real person in the room, and everyone else is merely an extra in your movie. Not a healthy way to look at life and one that will likely lead us back to the bottle which for us ultimately means our undoing.
