Selfish

We are a selfish people. We lie, steal, beg, and cheat. We are selfish beings. Beings who care not about others, why would we? Why would we, the selfish, care for anyone but ourselves? Tis a rough world out there, my dear. One with perils unlike any you've seen before, love being the worst of them. Love, the very word makes me cringe. Not that I don't believe in infatuation, but because I've fallen in love so deeply, that it was impossible to fall out. "Falling in love is amazing" they say. But aside from the temporary joy you get from the so called "love" you also get sorrow, frustration, anger, loneliness, and fear. Nothing good can come from love. Fall off a cliff. It will hurt less than love. Nothing is good about love. Not when it is a selfish love. A selfish love, one that only takes the good and positivity out of you, will only bring you misery. We are a selfish people. Those who aren't, are over run by the selfish that inhabit the earth. Love, isn't all it is hyped up to be. Unless you let go of the selfishness within your heart, and give, and not only take, we will always be a selfish people incapable of love.
