Hi All: Just had to reply to this post as it really struck a chord with where I am at and where I wish to go with the rest of my life. It seems most of us have tried the 3 approaches to life that are mentioned here, selfish, selfless and self invested. They might actually be stages of emotional development, a course which we take to uncover our true being. Some folks get stuck on one phase, like selfless, acting the part of a martyr. Others get to the point where they are the center of the universe and we are supposed to revolve around them. The self invested no doubt seems to be the healthy path to a fruitful life, that and not taking ourselves too serious. There is much to learn on the road of life, some experiences we would rather not have to go through....but they have a purpose, to tell us that this is NOT where we wish to be. Peace, PS
