The Blue Whaling. As humans we cannot escape the great pull selfishness has on our lower consciousness. When we are born we are innocent and we believe in goodness and the world is a beautiful place but as we get older we start to realize that life is really hard. And we want it to be as easy as it was when we were kids so we become selfish and start to look out for ourselves and only ourselves. This varies with every person but there is always that lower consciousness nagging at us to try and find
