"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

~Mahatma Gandhi

As of late, many purported "well-wishers" have encouraged me to care for myself through this very intricate time in my life. Who's to suppose this was not previously existing? I do not see personal tragedies as cause to heighten one's own selfish desires. Never will I understand a man who feels that to find peace within himself, his only concern should be that of his own personal affairs and claimed enigmas. Selfishness in one's journey only serves a singular purpose; unnecessary repetition. It takes twice the effort to defeat the ego, which in turn, is also an exhaustion of invaluable 'time'. Space in which an intention to act would serve to satisfy others while incidentally satisfying the self as well.

Conclusion: Self-exploration, which is executed through isolated egocentric gain, will cost twice as much and produce half the result.
