READERS AGREE ON 'SELFISH' HOFFMAN

RE: CHRISTINE Flowers' column on Philip Seymour Hoffman's death: I 
agree completely. As a therapist, I see many who don't have the 
courage to face themselves, and use the excuse of disease. It's our 
fundamental nature to be selfish, that's why we need greater purpose 
to guide our lives. To live knowing we are called to suffer and 
sacrifice for the good of others is what helps us keep at bay our 
self-centered nature.
