I don't understand.

We're so selfish
We're slaves to our impulses
We're afraid of our emotions
And no one knows where the shore is
When divided by the ocean
And the only thing I know is
That the answer isn't for our eyes
That the answer isn't for our eyes...

- Feist

I was thinking:

We have words, but we don't use them.
We have words and we don't want to use them.
We use them, and we don't want to share them.
We have actions. We have means of expressing ourselves.
We don't express ourselves. We don't share ourselves.
We're given everything we need and we don't use it.

To be human. To live. Is to share an experience.
To experience together.
To give your experience to another.
To take in another's experience.
To connect with another through an experience.

Selfishness goes beyond hoarding material possessions.
Selfishness is refusing to give or accept sympathy.
Selfishness is refusing to experience.
Selfishness is refusing to share pain.
Selfishness is refusing to share. To talk.
Selfishness is refusing to show love.
Selfishness is refusing to love.
Selfishness is refusing.

We isolate ourselves.
Hide in comfort.
It's not human.
I suppose it's defense.
It's not living.

Why are we so fearful?
I am.
But why?
It doesn't make sense.
I don't understand.
