Dear Selfishness,
When I needed you, you were there.
Without a whisper or whimper
You’d always care.
When others lost their temper
You’d strike down their spite.
When others scorned your name
You kept me in the fight.
When others wanted to shout and blame
You kept me in my right mind
All of the strength of my life
I could always find
Through stress and strife.
I could rely on your touch.
you always stood true.
I owe you so much.
Far from being the few,
You are the sole
Condition in my thinking
That propels me to make my next goal.
This keeps me from ever sinking.
Truly yours,
The Ego

Breath issued from Angelica’s mouth. The weight of the baby put her into her chair. Her curves managed to say she had not been with child the whole time. There seemed to be a fantastic ideal swimming somewhere in her mind about the hazards of caring for two. She grabbed a magazine and fanned herself, knowing that she expended more energy in that effort sitting still and letting the air conditioning do the job. No, she told herself, without struggle there is no triumph. She switched on the television set. The picture looked as people had been replaced by blue aliens and she just watched her soap opera, void of extraterrestrials for this time.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.
