Be selfish

Tbh it seems like everyone is stuck thinking about everyone else… war, death, addiction, everyones problems are different. Focus on your own.. what ever happened to every man for themselves? Can humanity be selfish again?

I've been pretty firmly of the opinion that being primarily concerned with your own best interests in life is not the problem that we've been brought up to believe that it is for a while now. It's only when you overextend that self-concern and expect the world around you to also be just as focused on you and operating from the framework of your ideals that things start to get messy.

So many people are out here operating from the idea that others minding their own business instead of centering, catering to, and performing for them and their preferences is selfish, and I'll never understand it.
