"To be stupid, selfish, and have good health are three requirements for happiness, though if stupidity is lacking, all is lost."

Hopefully I’m not stupid. So therefore I can’t be happy when I’m selfish. But lately I’ve begun to notice, I’m incredibly selfish. I guess that’s what comes of knowing selfless people. One can’t help but hold them up to oneself and find oneself lacking. I always have a hard time finding gifts for selfless people. I guess that’s what’s got me thinking on this subject. I can never figure out what to give my mother for her birthday or Mother’s Day. Me on the other hand…give me an hour and I’ll give you a list the size of your arm. That’s if you have pretty long arms. And how happy am I when I get items on my list? Oh sure, I’m momentarily pleased till I move on to my next conquest, but as a college student I can only go so far. Money is a stressful institution. But oh man, I hate shopping. I guess that helps me out in the long run.

New goal: stop being selfish.
