It was a cold winter’s night. The wind was howling and a bone chilling rain was falling when the telephone rang at the home of a doctor. The man that was calling said that his wife needed urgent medical attention. The doctor was very understanding and said, "Sir, I’ll be glad to come and see what I can do for your wife, but my car is being repaired, could you come and get me?" There was indignation on the other end of the phone the man angrily shouted, "What, in this weather?"

One of the characteristics of someone that is lost is that they are self-centered.
