As the debate goes on nationally, the I mentality is disturbing. On the way home from one of the San Francisco Tours, I stopped by a local market. In the market, there was a flyer from a family attempting to raise for treatment for cancer. That poster really struck me. Only a I mentality would not be disturbed that a family would have to raise money for cancer treatment. It would be like walking past someone bleeding from an automobile accident and not even bothering to call 911. On San Francisco Food Tours, we see what happens when neighborhoods come together to help each other. Everyone in the community benefits. We see this in the neighborhoods we visit on San Francisco Culinary Tours.
The I mentality results in everyone losing out. It is like being on a ship that is sinking and being happy because you drown ten seconds later than everyone else. You may have survived for ten seconds later, but the reality is that you still drowned. If for nothing that one's own preservation, caring about only oneself is a path for self-destruction.
