My Definition of a Parent

A person who is the hero
to their kids
A person who contributes more than the
minimum
A parent is someone who understands a kids needs and wants
A parent is someone who puts their kids
needs before their own (being unselfish)
who is willing to help out even if they're struggling too
A parent does NOT have to be blood
A parent does not have to do these things
A Real parent will.

Selfishness

Selfishness is a human urge to put your needs
before others
To be consistently selfish makes you  arrogant
You don't know what selfishness is until
someone is selfish towards you
But sometimes even then you are blind
Sometimes to be selfish is a need to protect
oneself from the selfishness of others.
Selfishness is the opposite of a parent.
