Narcissism

"humans are basically selfish"

whoever thinks that he is not selfish, please stand up and shout to this whole wide world that you are not so..

you see, i firmly believe that everyone is selfish..

whether we like to admit it or not--- we are narcissist..

no one is really living his life for the happiness of others..

one way or another the person looks for his personal benefit over the things he is doing..

if the person claims that he is doing something for others and not for himself..well, at some point, i can very well conclude that he keeps on doing all those things because he too feels happy and good about it!!! therefore, he is still after for his own welfare/happiness..

being selfish is innate to man..

actually i do not regard it as a negative..

from the womb of our mothers we were trained to look after ourselves.. we fought our own battles alone..we never thought of anyone that time except for ourselves..and that all started our constant devotion to our very selves!

whew!!!

but the basic point i want to stress out is---though selfish nature of man is but innate and for me, it is definitely normal..

selfishness has also its extent and types..

i think being selfish does not require us to be mean to others..

it does not compel us to pull others down..

it basically teaches us to look for our personal concerns and battles first before attending to others'..

selfishness becomes a pain in the ass to others if we are trying to penetrate their comfort zones..

it is not right anymore to get into others' nerves just to get your way to everything..

selfishness does not do good anymore if you do not respect others' own distinct ways..



i am a selfish person because i am obviously human..

it is part of my nature..

but i will never ever use that as an excuse to bypass others' rights..

and inasmuch as i want to be happy, i also consider others when i make decision for my personal happiness..

beacuse i simply believe that being selfish do not really require to step on others..



so guys, let's express our being selfish in how should a well-educated and civilized person should be doing.. :)



count me in!!!hahaha
