No fighting 'self-centeredness' either
Technically, we all live in our own worlds
Enclosed in our own worlds

They intersect sometimes, merge, overlap
Yes, I agree
But technically
We are always self-centered
All we really know, is our own world
Our perceptions, imaginations
A mind made world

Be self-centered all you want!
Fighting it
Just creates another enemy

My world does, and has
Always revolved around me
That's the truth!
To me, my world is
All that is

But respect other's worlds too
Even though I don't know them personally
Directly, experientially
I don't have to make them like mine
Mine is no better or worse than theirs

Just different
Unique to me
Theirs, unique to them
