I'm burning incense,
but did I ever help
someone in need?

yes, maybe the person or business you bought the incense from. Seriously, I do understand the meaning. Being ceremonial or religious is not the same as really helping someone (living your religion) .

Selfishness is not about greediness, it's about callousness. That's what I read from this poem. Thank you for the generosity of words which allowed me the leisure of introspection.: -)
