Gonna Get Me A Mojo Hand

[AlexEN]

Let me clarify, though, that when I say "selfish" I mean doing what is good for me. If it happens to be good for others, produces a Gooditude Externality, well that's okay, too. But if it's not good for me it can't be good for S and D. So selfish. Or self-focused. Or self-referential. Oh what the hell? It's All About Meeeeeeeee!

So, it's kind of like a Mobius strip where the opposite definitions fold back upon themselves -- your definition of selfishness encompassing not being selfish...

This:

(Helloooooo, Deep End. Into your waters I plunge.) That’s a chance you’ll have to take. It’s Your Path, not mine. I’m not blocking the exits. You can leave. In a way I want you to. You’ve said that in spite of everything this is what you need. Okay – get what you need. I want you to know how it feels, the bad and the good. Maybe it will be the best thing you ever did. Hell, maybe it’ll be the best thing you ever did for both of us. Neither of us is going to know until we know. But you won’t ever really be alone. Because you’ll always know that there is one man who cares about you and who cares about what happens to you.

“Will I know that?”

C’mon, who are you trying to kid? You know that already.

“And if I know that, what happens if you’re not alone?”

Then, my friend, it will suck to be you.

... is AMAZING stuff...
