Selfish creatures

It's scary looking at yourself in a new light.  When you're always used to thinking of yourself as the noble, the right, the victim.  But then to sometimes turn around and see what the same actions, the same scenario may look like from the other side.  And you may not be a blameless as you like to think.  Actions that seem justified because you think you're just being wise and protecting yourself from the same mistakes of the past, are really just you selfishly playing out every option to find what suits you best, at the expense of those around you.
