Seems we get so tangled up in doing the ”right”, we forget about ourselves, end up miserable, empty..Turn to addictions, abuse, more emptiness..

Sometimes you just gotta’ bite the bullet and say ”fuck it”, my turn..Me, Me, Me... Yes, one must weigh the consequences, but I’m a firm believer if you are not happy with yourself, if you don’t love You first, you’ll have no love or happiness to offer down the line..Not to your spouse, kids, friends, country..Nobody...

always a source of comfort Oscar when you take away the loneliness of my thoughts, and let me know that I’m not entirely alone in thinking or feeling them.

Thank you

I totally agree to the point that every human being is selfish including me. Even if we say that we care for our loved ones then its only because if they’ll get hurt then we also feel the pain. Just to avoid that pain we try to keep our loved ones away from the troubles.

I don’t know, sometimes it seems like we put ourselves through pain just to avoid theirs...

True, even if we go round and round, deep inside we know that we all are

selfish. If it is not so then we will give 100% liberty to everyone to do

anything that he/she feels like. But we put restrictions, act possessively,

etc. only due to our self motives.

Well, don’t we have to? Or is self defense and protection now considered being ’selfish’ by today’s measures?

The selfish that is motivated by one’s desires? What’s so wrong with that right?

I don’t agree that everyone is selfish. A mother takes care of her child without any selfishness. She simply nurtures the child with her love. Even

when that child grows up and leave the mother alone in order to have his own

family...she stills blesses him. I dont think that’s selfishness.

I don’t know if I agree with you Ayushi. A big part of parenthood is selfish. Parents see themselves in what their children become, and they hold them up as measurements of their success and reflections of their images. Besides, leaving your mother or father behind shouldn’t just be to have your own family, but to have your own life too, you spend the most part of your life being theirs, belonging to your parents, following their rules and their ways of life and knowing only their truths. When the time comes that you can discover your own, it shouldn’t be about whether it’s OK with them or not. It’s only natural that you move on, and it should definitely be with the blessing of your family. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, and rarely too. Even then, when you’ve moved on with your life, and even if you have began a new family of your own, it’s not like you abandon your parents altogether. I think all in all, children play a much more selfless role when it comes to the family.

So much has to do with ones (or society’s) perception of selfishness..

I believe in this saying, ”There are two aims in life. First to get what you want and after that try to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieves the second.” Too bad i havent reached it yet.
