Selfishness

Selfishness is evil.
Love is evil, if purely for one's own gratification;
Then, it is not love, but is selfishness.
Selfishness taints all that it touches.
It darkens the mind with desire.
It satiates at others' expense.
It feeds on others' wellbeing.
It harms the soul of all around you.
It seeks its gratification always
Above all else.

Another word for it is "Self-love".

Draw strength from Christ,
Love outwardly, not inwardly,
Seek the welfare of others first.
Bear hardship and grief with outpourings of grace.
Build the soul of those around you.
Fill their cups until you are empty.
Perish before giving evil a foothold in your heart.
