Good insight, Patrick. There is something about the nature of selfless service that is...uh... selfless. Focus on the welfare of others and you take that focus away from the puny self and its drama queen antics and its pitiful whine, "Me! Me! Focus on me! I'm the important one in the room, I'm the star...focus on me!" And then what seems to happen is that the wanabee starlet self, starved for attention and not find- ing any, just gives up the quest for fame and stardom and packs her bags and goes back to Olkahoma to work as a waitress, leaving the Self to enjoy the bright lights of Hollywood. :-)
