THE WORLD - REVOLVES AROUND US OR REVOLVES AROUND ME?

If ever counted, then we would be shocked to know the number of times we would have thought about the concepts of "I", "ME", OR "MINE" - things always being related to us has been such an unknown obsession to us that many times we as well turn around and check where the person walking behind us is going - for we are scared that he might be stalking us.
