Who's The 'Center' Of Your World?

   Unless, children are reared, in a manner, to belie a, certain, ascertained, misconceived, 'truth', which, some, seem, to attain, in their, young, lives, many youngsters, 'understand' themselves to be the 'center of the universe'; And, while, this may be so, according to the parents, raising these, offspring, who, naturally, see the world revolving around their, little, 'ray of sunshine', it is not fair to any child, beyond a certain, point, in his or her life, to be permitted to think this way. It does a child a, severe, injustice, to have, this, idea instilled in his or her lil' noggin, as, he or she will grow-up, believing the same to be true; and, we've all met adults, who, in their, deftly, deluded-fashion, 'swagger' around, in the world, likening themselves to be the 'be all and end all', a, MOST, unflattering, characteristic, to be sure; These, misdirected, men and women, who, feel to be, in their, Copernican-mindset, as the Sun, the center of the Universe. What these, folk fail to realize, is, that, as much as we might want the world to be ALL about us, it is not. It is my belief that there is, but, One, True, 'Center', this, being, Our Creator. 'Finally, the lives of all humanity revolve around the Lord.' (vv. 13-19) If and when we choose to live our lives, according to this, 'Truth', is when there exists a 'shift' within our consciousness, which, serves both God and Mankind, more, optimally. Makes sense to me! Just Sayin'...
