The Truth About Selfishness

Stephanie Weisz, Grade 10

human nature is punctuated with selfish behaviors

people may care about those

but innately we think of ourselves before others

that’s why it is so hard to understand love in it’s most purest form

love overrides every selfish being in one’s body

all of the thoughts persisting about personal safety now amplified onto another

putting another life before our own

kinda’ frightening if truly thought about

which is why no blame should go to those with selfish intentions

for they have not experienced the soulful passion just yet
