This is so good but I’m sorry

This is the best

Self-Centered Makes it Worse

Sorry to say, where things could be helpful for those lacking direction, the views just make it so self-serving and focused that it belittles everyone else and detracts from already obtained accomplishments and ongoing efforts.

There’s nuggets to be found, but they’re mixed with impurities upon delivery.
