What is wrong with thinking about
me?
What is wrong with thinking about
myself?
What is wrong with thinking about
I?
Me, myself, and I; we always
think about one another
Just because we're selfish
....doesn't mean we don't love
each other.

| Meet the Selfish Family |
Me, myself, and I grew up in the
selfish family. They were triplets who lived in the town of Ego. The boys had
some unique characteristics and they were magical too. Me was the oldest of the
bunch and he could cause people to be self-seeking. Myself was the middle boy and
he had the ability to make people self-absorbed, and I could make people self-centered.
Me, Myself, and I received many visitors from all over the world whom came to
the town of Ego. They watched their little town grow to a big city, then a big
metropolitan, and now it was almost a small nation. Me, myself, and I had cast
their spells on many "willing" people and they were rolling in the
ego dough.
It was amazing how many people walked the
streets of Ego; having left broken hearts, disappointments, abuses, and
carelessness in their wake. Once the selfish trio entered the hearts of people
with their magical characteristics it was hard to get them out. They were
famous!!! But one day a little boy was born, somewhere in the Middle East, and
they began to hear rumors about him having the power to change people's heart.
This boy had the power to remove and replace the selfish family out of the
hearts of some of their best clients. Me, Myself, and I were worried. Me, Myself, and I never knew the boy's name,
but they heard rumors his name might be Philanthropic or something like. Afraid
of losing business they left Ego for the first time and began to spread their
magic everywhere.

| Oh NO! |
Here's what begin to happen: Tommy
left his wife after twenty-two years of marriage for another woman. Susan took
Michelle's lunch money and pushed her to the ground. Betty's brothers never
helped her care for their 94 year old mother, even though they lived in the
same town. Ben stole millions of dollars from people's retirement fund. Linda
only talks about herself and her needs. Steve beat his wife and blamed her for
it. Brenda broke up with Dan for John, because he had more money. Sally stole Anthony's idea and got rich off
of it. Dorothy cheated on her final exam and became the top student. Meanwhile,
Me, Myself, and I cheered and clapped at their success and when they returned
to Ego town; it had become a big nation.
By that time the little boy from
the Middle East had become a man and had been around for years; he'd gained a
big following as well. Some people called his followers People of The Way, but Me, Myself, and I had infiltrated that group
too. Unlike, the Philanthropist, many of them didn't feed the poor, or help the
widows, or do anything for orphans, and it was obvious they didn't care for
each other. Many of them were just like the citizens of Ego Town and the
Selfish family felt a sense of pride.
Me, Myself, and I still live in
Ego Town to this day, but they don't have to work anymore, their followers do
all the work for them. If you look around or maybe in your own heart you'll
discover a little of their magic working in your own life. I hear if you check
out the guy from the Middle East he might have some Words that can help.
I met the guy from the Middle
East. His words helped a lot. He said: Think
of others. Love one another. Do something for someone else on occasion. Make
sacrifices. Don't just "get yours," but help someone "get
theirs" too. Bear one another's burdens.
Be kind. Show consideration. Be compassionate. Give honor and respect
where it is due. Do unto others as you
want them to do unto to you. Once I started doing those things my whole life
changed and I found real magic in the unselfish acts of life. Reciprocity it
also a wonderful side effect.

| Break up with Yourself |
Self's selfish selfishness invites the dangerous trio , Me, Myself, and I
into your life. Don't be fooled by their angel of light charm, because Me,
Myself, and I's magical ways are synonymous with trickery. Therefore, be
careful of choosing your best interest over what is lovingly right for the
person next to you. By all means love yourself, but in the process love others
too.
I have met Me, Myself, and I... Took a while to reconize them because at one time they were my friends. When I discovered their true identities I had to face the mirror... not easy... good post!!!
