The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Hermione's Little Group of Serious Thinkers by Don Marquis: to make me a Self-Indulgent Individualist?
And, you know, I hae struggled and struggled
to get rid of the selfishness my parents trained into
me. How I strive for Harmony and Humility!
Nearly every night before I go to bed I say to my-
self: "Have I been HUMBLE today? Truly humble?
Or have I FAILED?"
Children are not nearly SIMPLE enough these days.
Oh, for more Simplicity! That is what we all need.
Though I will say this for Mamma -- that it
would have been hard to train Simplicity into me
