There are two types of people in the world
They're all about themselves and what they can acquire and just take, you know, dog eat dog world type of people. And those who are considerate are the ones that are self aware, acknowledge others around them, try to make everyone else's life maybe a little bit easier, more pleasant, and they're just compassionate people. So that's my opinion. Two types of people in the world, the selfish and the considerate

She runs a nonprofit, so she gives back to the community, and she's all about that outside of work as well

Dobbs, thank you so much for your response and helping me reflect. And this is so much in alignment with some of the conversations I've been having lately. I'm on another platform where we discuss topics like this, and it, funny it came up yesterday, I think the vocabulary that we're using and our identification of what words mean. So to me, selfish is not synonymous with self care or prioritizing self
