    That’s the ethos/MO of everyone that enjoyed their time in the childrape Epstein island and parties so idk… You’re just one person, in a whole world full of people and natural wonders, do you really think a self-obsession is warranted? You’ll be selfish because everyone is, but you have to regulate that and give sometimes, and (in my understanding) the best among us is the one who gives more than what they take and is still happy at the end of the day.

    Regardless, only through service (like being an integral part of your community, from the butcher and baker to the doctor and therapist; or being a good son or daughter/loving father or mother) do we truly feel happy and worthy of whatever good we have received, the rest is just hedonism and silly power games which are ultimately unfulfilling.

    PS: I don’t even understand the whole “love yourself” angle. Like, why? How? Love is for the outside, you just need to understand yourself and work on yourself enough for you to like yourself as a person, to be at peace with who you are. The rest is dangerous vanity. And if you’re just a problem or a burden or out of control, why would you love or even like yourself?! You should hate who you have become with a passion, whilst having faith you can right your wrongs and change into a normal, prosocial person, so you can actually make progress.
