 SELFISHNESS IS A DISEASE

Human selfishness treats those similar and different as objects that can be manipulated and used according to desires and whims, without caring about the consequences that fall on those who are victims of this treatment, who, of course, also practice their share of selfishness, because the selfish person thinks that through this behavior he is saved from the predation of others, placing himself above everyone, taking advantage, without realizing that he also becomes the object of other people's selfishness, in an abominable consensual relationship of abuse that goes unnoticed, because it is so normalized.

Selfishness dehumanizes our humanity, because it ignores the quality of subjects that we are or that we can be, considering that people are an object to be explored, just as is done with the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdom, and selfishness covers itself with moral arguments for these practices, creating, as a result, a civilization that is impossible to put on the path of humanization because the root selfishness is not treated as what it is, a disease.

Selfishness is a disease, but since it represents the majority tendency, it is still treated as something inevitable, which must be accepted within normality.

Selfishness is the disease that transgresses the three pillars of humanization, caring for each other, respecting our differences, and dignifying our kingdom between heaven and earth.

In the end, what matters is what has been done, so at some point you will have to suspend the joy of thoughts and dreams and dare to do something practical about them. That's what it will be worth.
