We live in a capitalist society. Capitalism feeds into the man's true nature, greed; "Me, me and me"

I'd like to think of my self as selfish. Good question you asked.
I prefer being selfish than putting others before myself. What's the point of making them happy if I'm not happy? If you keep on pleasing someone, they'll get used to it and keep on asking for more, it never enough. I went through it. My family is basically shit. Everyone only thinks about themselves. So, what's so wrong if I do it as Well? People have grown in different environment, people like me with a family problem or just sucks in life general, start being selfish. And, I'm quite proud. But do not for one second think that I'll never care about anyone, I do care, a lot in fact, I just choose not to show it.

I find that being selfish is a fast track to the front of the queue in life. I sincerely believe that every selfless persons act that has lead to this amazing society where I'm sitting here talking into a piece of equipment I do not understand that is somehow recording my bigoted thoughts and broadcasting them to the entire world is a loser. I reap the rewards of all their hard work. fucking idiots

It's a self-serving world. The world rats you up if you're selfless. Takes a brave person to live selflessly and big respect to anyone who does it

Because that’s the nature of humanity
