He sat there playing the flute
on the throne, beside the window
and watched flames engulfing
the huts outside his palace.
One by one they reduced to ashes
he sat there playing his flute
thinking that it’s not his business
to go out and help them.
He looked at the walls of stone
this made his palace strong
and smiled at himself smugly
kept on playing a playful song.
Suddenly he felt heat
saw orange flames leaping
slowly licking his dream palace
after swallowing the huts surrounding.

Does it mean we sit and ignore a problem until it starts to swallow us?
Hmm, interesting! Selfishness here!
This so happens when you do not look at the flames... you think you are safe, but nobody is special, when it comes to fire...
Rally good, my dear friend-as always!
dear secretia,
no it means exactly the other way round, if let others perish then no one will be there to save us.
its a harsh truth which we often too much.
with lots of affection.
dear ajey,
selfishness is never good for one's own health.
with warmest wishes,
dear d,
agreed :) but still we confuse ourselves.
with lots of love.
