Self-Serving You, Self-Seeking Me

Many times at certain turns I happen to stop by to take a pause, to rest and glance at the road traveled, the world seems so away and its then I realize that I have come a long way. That pause makes me think about the people I have touched and the few who touched me, about how we all started together in this voyage and how I am left alone now. I concluded that only two things made me stand there, I ignored people who wanted me and got ignored by the people whom I wanted. This is the reason that I stand aloof, that I see people around but none familiar face to look upon, and none familiar voice to call upon. But its all so fair, we live in a selfish world, and being selfish is what we see and what we follow, none waited for us and we wait for none. We meet people we consume them and leave as they meant nothing to us ever. We have walked over the corpses of our own values and teachings, but the funny part of it is that we don't regret it, because being selfish is no longer wrapped under the spell of sin, it is now more an inheritance, and it gives me relief to say that I am not solely responsible for where I am. Well moving on is the only lesson everyone has learned and mastered. But the fact remains, no matter how many times do we say, but our heart never beats for others, it will always beat for only ourselves.
