I think about all the self-seek behavior I used to engage in and still do sometimes. I think about how much I often want something or want a situation to be a certain way, how I either get frustrated or impatient with things not being the way I want it. I find it most striking with people in early recovery. I can't believe how much "we" think we should get what we want...how much we think we deserve it! We have far more than we need and who really gets what he wants? President Obama? No. Queen Elizabeth? Hell, no. The Dalai Lama? You kiddin'; not yet!! EVEN GOD??? He cries every night! What we do to each other. Please.
