One of the greatest misconceptions is that a selfish person lacks sensitivity.

I believe the exact opposite is true:

to be selfish and satisfy one's own desires, one must first know oneself, and that always implies a certain degree of sensitivity.

Sepia-toned ink portrait of an introspective occultist with an eroded skull embedded in his hair, a black serpent coiled around his body and a hand resting over a dead bird and an inscribed parchment. Reinterpreted from 1912 Austin Osman Spare.

…reinventing oneself is precisely this,

and in this the roots wrap themselves around clumps of ever-new soil, until meeting water, and when it still fails to bloom, here it is:

after the fleeting regret for those gray hairs, with a steady, certain eye, a mind more agile than before, perhaps altered by the sting of the clods, he discovers he had always been a root blamed for not being

a flower, yet now it is down there

and cannot give voice

to it; it could retrace

its steps,

but would not

survive, it knows it.
