Author's Notes

Mourning

People are selfish. Every single person to ever exist and every single person that is capable of feeling emotions.. They're all selfish, we're all selfish.

The title, is my main source of 'proof' for this argument.

So yes, everybody is selfish. Yet, everybody will deny it. They will claim that they are humble, down-to-earth, and whatever shit that would make the most modern and up-to-date person sound like a nonconformist. But, we're all liars. And I could go on and on about that, but I believe that's for another chapter.

I'm probably not being very clear so far, I tend to ramble, a lot. It's time I finally get to the scenario to prove my point how every human that has loved, cherished, and cared about another living, breathing embodiment is a selfish person. Myself included. There are those in our lives, whether it be pets, an acquaintance, your closest friend or your family member, that matter so much to us. So far, I've more than likely portrayed the idea of people and attachment as a glorious and beautiful thing.

Well, it's time we take off that beautiful mask and depict the horrifying truth. When those we've affix ourselves to pass over, we grieve. We mourn. But why? Why do we feel sad over the death of another? I don't get it. It seems so imbecilic to do so.

We cry and ache because that person or thing is no longer with us. We basically shed tears because our own well-being has been shattered and disrupted. We no longer have happiness because of them, yet said being is no longer feeling pain, no more worry, and we wish for them back so we don't have to feel this way?

Am I making myself lucid?

There are continuous other reasons as to why we're all selfish. Whether it's becoming frustrated when somebody doesn't respond to you, if somebody eats that piece of food you were saving, wanting things for yourself, just plain greed and envy.

The lovely twins with evil grins that fuel your selfish necessities.
