Self-preoccupation is mostly fruitless...
Unless it is concerned with the killing of the sense of self-importance(entitlement).
Seek knowledge/wisdom within… Read,Reflect,Contemplate,Pray....
True self-knowledge begets humility.
Anything that insists that you are better than your fellow creatures is false.
You are a steward at most.
Consciousness is a precursor of responsibility and stewardship is service.
This means we are all servants. Of our Creator and to one another.
Seek growth without. In service of the ‘Other.’
