Wow! Very wise observations. Being aware of selfishness is the surest way to overcome it. Some folks wantonly hurt others without being aware of it. If everyone shared your self-awareness the world would be a better place. I also agree with Elsa & Jennifer, though. Sometimes selfishness is healthy...as in taking time for one's self. As with many things in life, self-improvement is a matter of progress, not perfection. Thanks for posting.
