SELFISHNESS AND GREED

Devoid of negative judgment,
Selfishness is going for what you want
And willingly paying the price;
Greed is going after a free lunch,
Looking to get something for nothing.

Both Selfishness and Greed
Stem from a fatal, unconscious choice,
Begun when we first felt the fear of Separation.
We reacted then, and still do now
By withhhoding our wellbeing,
And our Self.

Could such selfishness be the source of all crippling un-ease?
Is our greed for gratification depriving us of fulfilment"?
Surely we are much too grand to be solely our own.
To be exclusive.
