How many times have we thought that things would be different only if we slowed down, thought things through. And listened to what other people had to say instead. But aren't we all just human, so fixated on what we want, so caught up with what we can get that we're just flowing along the current of self glorification, slapping ourselves on the back every step of the way. Isn't it just a human instinct to satisfy our own needs before we start to look else where. I mean how can I help you if I can't help myself. Aren't we just human at the end of the day, with ourselves conceivably more important than anything or anyone else for that matter. After all, American values - individualism, carried along radio and TV waves that have been multiplied by the Internet has long planted the seeds on self justification that are so ingrained in us that who can blame us now for thinking "Who cares about what anyone else thinks as long as I'm happy."
