Thinking of You Thinking of Me

"Of course I only think of myself. No one else is going to."
The Chemical Buddha realized everyone was self-centered. He believed very few people truly acted for the benefit of others. He thought if someone did a kind act for another it was so they could be praised or appreciated by the other person. Or that person would return their kind act with another. This is part of the reason why TCB never did anything for anyone else. That way people thought of him more (mainly that he was an asshole) and he didn't have to do anything to get them to do it. He saw it as the perfect win-win.
How often do you think of others?
How often do you think of yourself?
How often do you think other people think of you?
What do you get out of doing things for other people?

Me and Mine!

“I'm all I think about.”
If everything is one and one is everything, The Chemical Buddha deduced that if he only thought about himself, he would actually be thinking about everything. He also rationalized that his view of the world was totally his. Because the entire world was filtered through his thoughts and feelings. So no one else on the planet had his perspective and if he wasn’t thinking of himself, then who the hell was? Or, more importantly, whom could he trust to think about him? Because in The Chemical Buddha’s mind everyone only thought about themselves. Which meant no one would be looking out for him.
Are you happy with who you are? Or do you think there’s room for improvement?
How often do you put yourself first? How often do you put others first?
Do you think it’s OK to sometimes put yourself first? Do you think it’s OK to put other people first?
