We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. On one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. On the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

How to use «Self-centered» in context?
Self-centeredness may seem like a harmless sin, but it really isn’t. In fact, it can be quite detrimental to your well-being. Here are some reasons why you should try to rid yourself of self-centeredness:
1. It can make you feel unsatisfied.
When you’re self-centered, you’re often focused on what you think you deserve rather than what’s best for you. This can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction because you don’t feel like you’re getting your fair share of life’s blessings.
2. It can lead to jealousy and envy.
