MINE!
Selfishness. We need to shed it. We live in an exceptionally ego-centric society with all advertisements geared at YOU. And with products like the iPod, iPad, iPhone,and iwhatsit all bouncing around, it's no wonder we think so highly of ourselves. Even children's clothing brandishes'It's All About ME' slogans. And that is where it starts; but if it is all about US, then we have the control to make it all about each other. We have the power to change the selfish attitudes we all hold and trade them in for more compassionate 'you' and 'we' attitudes. It can be as simple as pouring someone a glass of water instead of them having to do it themselves. Serving someone first without begrudging them. Having the control and thoughtfulness to NOT take the last piece of cake. It's up to YOU.
