Selfishness is the absolute antithesis to parenting.

It is also the gateway to all sin.

You can’t be a parent and be fixated on yourself. Well, you can, but that’s guaranteed to make you and your child miserable.

The Liberal mentality of these people is all “what about me?” We’ve seen all those stories and movies made about so-called “heroic” women leaving their kids and families to “go find themselves”, leaving wreckage and broken hearts in their wake.

It’s the epitome of selfishness. And they end up empty, trying to fill some undefinable void, only in reality creating confused and damaged kids.

The biggest lie was, “women can have it all!” Yeah right. Something’s gonna suffer, and it’s almost always the kid, offered on the altar of “me first”.

Sadly, it - selfishness - is rampant in our culture. And it explains everything.

When you are a parent you will step in front of a speeding train if that’s what it takes.

Precisely, dear Suzie. Rampant narcissim and solipsism are the order of the day, but that is precisely the outcome when one decides to make oneself a god. Genesis 3: 5 is our verse of the day.
