(With thanks to Carly Simon)
Some of the plainest people glow with internal beauty;
some of those with the most perfect looks have nought but external prettiness.

Some of the loneliest people care more for other’s troubles;
some of busiest find time to give comfort and support.

Some people care for nothing but themselves:
are so wrapped up in their desires, their looks,
and their egos… that the real world becomes invisible,

and their egos… that the real world becomes invisible,
and everything not focused on them is a petty annoyance.
Self-absorption is a drug more potent than poppies,
obsession with one’s self is a disease more disabling than paralysis.
Vanity in its mildest form is a form of domination,
at its most dangerous self-aggrandising is the scourge used to torment others’ souls.
