explain the diff btwn these two statements fi me

[evanovitch]

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'd be a lot less selfish </div></div> and <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I'd be more self-aware </div></div>

to me, at face value, both r the same.di smaddy is juss selfish

but den i argue wid miself that possibly the 'more self-aware' could mean dat him realise him is selfish n need fi wuk pon it...

BUttttttt den again i argue dat dem mean di said ting n the smaddy was being redundant


any opinions out dere

I agree with your second interpretation.

Selfish means you just always try to get your way or do what is best for yourself.

Self aware means you watch and observe your own actions and perhaps motivations. Doesn't mean you're going to do any better, but it kind of carries the connotation that you will at least try.

Evan, I agree with your take on each statement.
When you boil it down, the individual is a &quot;self person&quot; meaning &quot;me myself and I&quot; before all others...
