I was recently in another airport boarding yet another airplane. It’s that “open” style of boarding where you get guided on like cattle. It’s moments like that when people seem so sensitive and acutely aware of all their needs. Catching a plane calls on emotions that relate to a persons peace. Will I have a place? Will I get where I’m going? I’m having to “parade” in front of so many other people in getting my seat. The bottom line is it stirs, unwantedly, what is selfish about myself. I caught that one day. I thought, “It’s so easy to be selfish”. For everything to be all about me. Yet, it is so, not “all about me”. It’s all about me, just that I say, Lord, what am I here for, right now, right here in this particular situation. Only then, is it all about me. (Whew, that sure takes a load off).
The overriding reality I’ve witnessed is this. Selfish people have small worlds, little influence and few friends. People with influence and enjoy promotion are those who interpret the world outside of their own needs and give accordingly to others.
