It's not about me

It's not about me...that is a funny saying...I never suspected it was ever about me. I was brought up to believe it was about other people. Their needs and desires came first. If there was anything left of your money, time or energy after others had been seen to, then you could be concerned with yourself.
Where did that go? Churches are often all about them, not about God.
Society is mostly about itself, not other societies.
People are more concerned with what they want, not what they can do for others.
Maybe that is a generational thing and I am out of step, but it seems to me that a large part of our economic problems stem from people just thinking about what they want.
