It’s easy to confuse these two terms, but they are as different from each other as chalk and cheese. While ‘selfish‘ suggests blatant disregard for another, ‘self centred’ simply implies a ‘greater’ focus on the self. Nothing wrong with the latter, everything wrong with the former!
If you love yourself, focus on your life, without delving too much into other people’s affairs, it makes you self-centred and not selfish. And being that way is, to me, the blueprint for a good life. To quote author Neale Donald Walsch in his best-selling book ‘Conversations with God’, “blessed are the self-centred for they shall know God.”
So the next time you put yourself BEFORE another and not at the COST of another, and someone calls you ‘selfish’, direct them to the nearest dictionary. Or better still, give them the link to this blog ;)
