Three Kinds of People

First kind – the multitude of them Who think just of themselves How tremendous they are And nothing else moves or bothers them; Second kind – less so Who thinking of themselves 'How unique we are' And of others – in selfish ways of profit; The third – very few of us Who think of themselves foremost And, always, of others too, Sometimes helping, But mainly - just to protect ourselves from vicissitudes of life; Forth – none found in existence Who think only of others But naught of themselves; Because - it’s Life.

Arthur. I get where this is coming from, but I would say that there are many shades of "types" in between each of the ones you have listed! People are all so different and yet all so similar at the same time!! An interesting one to read.
