Self-Interest Is A Real Thing

Nov25

Serene Solitude

Your inner being has your self-interest in
Mind at all times with no resistance. You can be
In alignment with that if you want to feel good.
Interest in yourself can be well understood
To be the main goal of spirituality.
At the game of life your spirit wants you to win.

Feeling good is the purpose. If you get cross ways
Of your own interests you become ornery,
Fearful, and disconnected from what you desire.
You want only good thoughts and feelings to transpire.
Things you have no interest in just let them be.
The relinquishing will help to brighten your days.

It has to be okay with you that all others
Have self-interest. It’s not you usually.
Everyone has their own bag of self-interests.
That you have the power and the freedom suggests
That you’re worthy of being who you’re meant to be.
Realize when the enlightened moment occurs.

When you no longer need others to act in ways
That you can’t make them in order for you to feel
Satisfaction is when you have complete control
Of your destiny. You can quit playing the role
Of the needy one. That’s not the kind of ordeal
To go through nor is it ever worthy of praise.

Selflessly Selfish?

Balance Between Self And Others

Deadly sins are perhaps more than one hand can hold.
They could simply be seen as the process of growth
Of the healthy young ego into an adult.
If the challenge is too much often the result
Is arrested development and evil both.
Most hold on to their false selves until they are old.

Somewhere in early childhood the ego is born.
Behaviors that are noticed include jealousy,
Envy, greed, and self-interest in a big way.
They learn to become hurtful by things that they say
In response to feelings of inadequacy.
To be sharp and offensive the ego is sworn.

There are times we hurt others but unconsciously
By fulfilling one’s own needs instead of those whose
Expectations manipulate others’ free will.
To withhold one’s true inner needs just to fulfill
Selfish wishes of others is to put the screws
On the spirit’s development definitely!

But to do but for others means not to deny
Deeper needs within true self, for included there
Is the need to help others because it feels good…
 Never from a constructed image of falsehood.
Evolving past adulthood, the need is to care
For the whole human race with no thought about why.
