Selfishness

"I hear addicts talk about the shakes and panic attacks and the highs and lows of resisting their habit, and to some degree i understand them because i have habits of my own, but no drug is so powerful as the drug of self. No rut in the mind is so deep as the one that says I am the world, the world belongs to me, all the people are characters in my play. There is no addiction so powerful as self-addiction." Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz, p. 182
