In defense
I may have been a little harsh in my defense but I wasn't trying to insult anyone. Being ego-centric is not the worst thing in the world and occurs more often than one might think. Mostly I guess I was just trying to point out that people spend to much time looking at the world from their eyes and not enough from others (which is also a good thing to do). So apologies to anyone who thought I was just being insulting.

P.S. If you think my grammar and spelling looks bad now, you should see me without a spellchecker.
