Selflessly Selfish

I figured it out. People who claim to be selfless are lying. Selfishness is what keeps the world going. As wonderful as it may seem to have children (something I disagree with), parents will often do everything in their power to make a child’s life miserable.
Keeping a child happy is not an easy task, but when one has a child, they are automatically burdened to keeping this child clean, fed, and sleeping normally.
I feel that people who rush into marriage, and make it their life’s objective to get married and have children often find themselves trapped because of the commitment that people fall into.
There are several issues in this action of rushing into marriage, or relationships for that matter. When someone decides to date someone, the beginning is great! There is not a flaw in the world with the other person, everything is new and exciting, and then you get to know the other person.
Getting to know someone is one of the most interesting things in the world, I get to know myself everyday. I realize my strengths, weaknesses, fears and ambitions. The older I get, the more I realize that nothing scares me except commitment itself. I am committed to myself. I am selfish. This is not a bad thing, selfish has a negative connotation, but if you look for synonyms for “selfish” you will find “self centered”, “self-seeking”, “self-interested”, “egotistical”, and “egotistic.”
Yes! I want to take care of myself. In this world, nobody is going to do you any favors. If I do something and it benefits somebody else, I don’t want to be thanked, I don’t want recognition, I wasn’t trying to get anything out of it, I was merely seeking an objective. As funny as it may sound, I find myself making more people happy by making myself happy.
It was easier for me to treat my friends to something because I want to do that “something.” I don’t see this as wasteful, because it is something I want to do, I am not getting conned into doing something. I am voluntarily spending my time/money/ effort on pleasing myself; the fact that my friends are present is a mere casualty of my selfish efforts.
As much as I don’t care about what other people think about me, I do things that seem selfless, generous and even outright insane, because it makes my selfish actions look that much more socially acceptable.
Children Are Selfish, it’s not their Fault
Nobody chooses to be born, nevertheless, once we make the journey out of the birth canal; we are now dependent on other people for a long time until we can wipe our own ass, buy food and dress ourselves. Even then, those are utter basic necessities for our day-to-day lives that are taken for granted when we are older.
A baby cries when he or she is hungry, tired or needs their diaper to be changed. Parents who show disgust at the basic daily “chores” of taking care of a child are victims of their own actions. The responsibility of taking care of a child are so huge that parents don’t actually realize the vastness of the task until they are in too deep, so to speak.
Children are not responsible beings, and why should they be? Parental units need to display a sense of altruism towards their children whether they like it or not. If a parent does something that society deems bad parenting the parent could be deemed unsuited for parenting.
Parents need to be the role models for their children, which makes life so complicated, balancing everything in order to stay under the radar, yet effective. I feel like I have achieved this balance, yet I am not satisfied. Having said that, I do not want children; I just want to be happy by doing what I need to do in order to be successful in everything.
Be Proud, but don’t Flaunt it
As mentioned above, staying under the radar while being successful is key. If you start showing off your success, people begin to suspect something is up, but if you stay low-key and keep a close circle of friends who you can trust, and not have to ever worry about. It is all too often you hear about close friends who ruined another close friend’s life by stabbing them in the back.
If you are going to drive a Ferrari, know what the consequences will be. Be prepared to prove that your Ferrari is yours and not the proof of some illegal activity that will surely land you in jail or even worse, dead.
Remember that if you are generous, people will question your motives. That’s why everyone should live within his or her means not go into debt, pay bills on time, and everything will be OK.
There is nothing for wanting the “finer things in life,” but the price you pay for those things will sometimes come back and haunt you. People are always trying to get that nice watch, nice car, mansion in Beverly Hills, etc.
How it Ends
The world is all supply and demand that forces people to do things. Hot girls are limited in supply so they have a higher price, the healthier food is more expensive; thus taking care of yourself by spending money is selfish; there is nothing wrong with that.
