A Touch of Being Brutal...

Ramblings of a raging mind.

It was a long time before I realized how much I reek of selfishness, it seems to be leaking, flowing in my very blood. And would it be wrong to say that sometimes you have to play your own god? 

There are situations which can not be undone without a touch of being brutal and I feel, in the end, you and only you is what matters.  

It is now that I realize how exhilarating it is to be selfish. At times, you're left with nothing and if that's what it takes to carry on with life then I'd rather remain unchanged.

I really like the way you present selfishness as something that is hard to admit to, but then as you go along, it feels like you’re getting very attached to this idea. I’ve lived alone all my life, never wanted marriage or kids, & so I guess I’m selfish too. I figure I’m no good for anyone else if I’m miserable, which is what it seems you are also saying. I love the title & the explanation of it in your piece. The older I get, the easier it is to be brutal when necessary (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

On my part, it does leave a bitter aftertaste but that's how it is. I feel each one of us has a selfish part buried somewhere, it just needs to come out and used the right way it ain't bad ;) most don't have the courage to accept they are.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here, BG. Glad you appreciate. x

Wow. I cannot believe this has so many views and no thoughts left behind. I'd hardly call this rambling. Absolutely selfishness and brutality are necessary in some situations. I cannot find fault with either the logic or grammar. :)

For some time, I was made to feel about me being selfish, then I realized it doesn't matter either way. I just accept the way I am.
I call my writes ramblings mainly because I don't edit them and post them in the form of the first draft. That's why I created a separate section/book for such writes. But I'm glad you felt that way.
I abs agree, selfishness is necessary to survive.
Thank you so much for your words here. Very much appreciated.
