A reflection on selfishness and greed....

I can understand the sentiment of this wonderfully challenging and insightful quote... I have suffered, far too frequently, from my own selfishness and greed. It is something I bring before the Lord frequently, whether it has to do with my time, my boundaries, my need for control, or the much more base desires such as food, clothing, possessions (and of course gadgets!)

Selfishness ... feeds an insatiable hunger that first eats up everything belonging to others and then causes a creature to devour itself.
