Self is your shell.

Sometimes people can treat you nicely, properly, politely, friendly, and certain particular times otherwise. They be kind to you when they're not engaged to something and when they do they underestimate you and leave you behind, because for them, being egocentric is purely righteous. World these days are capricious, people these days are indescribable. And when I said indescribable, I mean it's not impossible for them to do whatever to you just to be pleased. Everything, for their sake of purposes. You could never fully bank on the world, nor the people on any damn thing, on any damn need, on any damn satisfaction. Not at all. Self is your shell.
