Selfish

I've been a very busy girl at work these past few days only because I've been in Hematology (a department I dislike the most). Even in those crazy moments though I've been doing some thinking. I came to the realization today that we are a bunch of selfish little people. I'm not talking about certain people. I'm talking about each and everyone of us. As a society we are selfish.

Guys play little mind games with girls to get what they want. And in return girls play games with guys either in retaliation or in order to get what they want. No matter how hard I try to deny that I've been the mastermind behind some games, I have to admit that I too am guilty. I was quickly reminded of a particular instance today by someone. However, in my state of denial (only because I wanted to be right) I realized that I played a game and won but then ended up losing in the end. No matter how hard we try to not play games with people's minds, it always ends up happening in one way or another. Why? Because we are selfish and want all of our desires to be met. We know just what to say or just what to do or just what to wear to attain our goal. Go to any bar or club or for that matter a restaurant and just people watch. Watch the way they talk or look at other people. Watch the way guys glance at a pretty woman just to make their date jealous. Watch the way women act at a club, particularly on the dance floor. They are in a state of "Look at me. Watch me. Desire me". You can see it in their eyes, the way their body moves, and the way they look when they know someone is watching.

I'm by no means saying that I've never taken part in these situations. In fact I will venture to say that I've been in a lot of them and will probably get into them again. This was just a little rambling about what I think about at work. There may have been some other influences too but for the most part just me thinkin outloud. OK I lied there were a lot of other influences to this little rambling. I know there is so much more I could go into but for now I'll leave it at that. Maybe this will become a series on selfishness and what we can do to stop it.

Have a wonderful day/night
