If being a people pleaser and a sheep in society and a follower makes you happy, by all means do that. but if you're not normally wired and it doesnt make you happy, don't try to be something you're not. do what you enjoy because it's who you're destined to be and it's much more fulfilling of a life to do what you love because you love it than to do what you hate out of fear. you're going to die and have bad things happen to you either way. might as well live in a way that the good times outweigh the bad times
I've been through some of the worst things a person can go through and I'm fine, ive learned how to cope and be happy. if i can anyone can in my opinion there's no excuse not to be happy and content
and yes I am pro-selfishness!!!!!!:) especially because the government is too fucked up for humanity to ever have a truly peaceful non-corrupt utopia its just not possible
