So I was talking to this friend of mine, Tan and…
Tan: Someday, we must both write a book together.
Me: Neat idea. Only, I can’t write w/ discipline and you can’t write at all. 
Tan [Ignoring me]: We should have the book split in the middle. I will write the nice half, ‘I Love You’ and you, obviously, will write the selfish half ‘I Love Me’.
Me: 
Hmm. I think he meant it. Sure, I’m self-centric. But aren’t we all? And anyhoo, I’m not that bad also, even if I do say so myself!

The reality is: all the wonders and even the greatest ‘chrity’ works are done out of ’self’ interest alone. Be selfish, never call others ‘cell-fish’ for to remain ’selfish’ alone is the way and reality: all the rest are just different faces or phases of ‘hypocricy’. May be, they may be saying they are not ‘cabbages’, but claiming to be ‘cauliflowers’ - a higher being!

well guess we are all here to be self contained …dependence comes on its own…but one thing which survives is selfishness…for we are all haunted by fear..

Ahem. I meant the qualities of being selfless, caring about others, putting other first before yourself… which I seem to possess.

@Everyone:
Didn’t intend to spark off a philosophical discussion on egocentricity.
@Invisible China:
Gapp says way too many things for his own good. Trust me, I’m NOT the one you wanna take guidance on film-making from. If it’s writing/language or anything else, sure! But SFM, I strongly advise you against it.
And I checked your flickr stream out. Commented too!
@CR:
Well-said, well-said!
@Gapp:
Ah, so we were talking about the same person. And you have an altruistic side? My, I musta been SO blind!
