it's not always about you



it is always a challenge for certain people to keep themselves from thinking that all of the universe, in all its roomy glory, would stop on its tracks to actually pay attention to his/her miseries or successes. these kind of people are either too self-possessed, they actually think they are the center of the universe (disproving all facts relating to the heliocentric theory); or the extreme guilt-freaks who claim they are blameworthy for everyone's blunder.

the thing is, and perhaps many will be surprised, it's not always about you. think of the many times you worried about what other people will think about you and the things you do, only to laugh at yourself when you realize that others are too busy with their own concerns to actually think about you.

if it's not about you, then what is everything about? the moonlighter may be left with a few more years to figure it out.
