U know how humans have the tendency to gravitate everything towards themselves? Everything becomes about me me me... I don't care about what others feel, as long as I feel good can already, because what's most important is that I feel good.
And it's true, we all are like that! We expect people to listen to us, we expect things to work around us, we wouldn't wanna be inconvenienced, we just wanna receive, receive, receive... we don't go out of our way to help someone anymore, we don't go out of the way to serve anymore, we don't go out of the way for God.
It becomes so natural that sometimes, the conversation u have with another becomes all about u and u just forget to care for that person... because it's all about u! everything becomes about u!! How selfish we can get sometimes.
I'm no exception, because I'm not perfect.
When things start to cloud and fall apart, u realise that HEY! how come i'm feeling so empty and why am i ending up complaining so much? that's cos for the longest time, it has been all about u.
Pray to the Lord, ask Him to fill u with love in ur heart again, pour out that love God put in u to someone else. Try making the conversation u have with the next person about that person, and u will realise it is in giving that u receive...
Amen!

I must say. i came across your blog by accident, and the first post i decided "why not read the entire thing" and you are absolutely correct. except for the "god" part, i myself am an Agnostic.
But you are absolutely correct. Even though friends see me as someone they can talk to about everything in their life, i often feel "hey, why do you always talk about yourself? don't you wanna ask what's up with me?" So i see it as the edge of a knife. Even though people want me to help, i suffer from (at times) petty emotions where i want them to, for a moment, shift the focus on me. But i guess those emotions are just human instinct. However, i do love the knowledge that friends come to me for help.
I think i have to keep watching your blog for another post, if you get around to it :P
