Would I be a better person?

Keeping my mind occupied. On something. Other than myself. Other than on my own well-being. Odd as it may seem. That’s the secret to a good and decent life. To be concerned about others. Even more than about myself. That should be one's mission in life.  Unfortunately, I’ve been too self-oriented. Too self-centered. Makes me wonder. If it’s too late to change. To start a new life. With the benefit of new-found wisdom. Would I be a significantly better person? I suspect so. --Jim Broede
