Notice something: Every single time someone calls someone else selfish, they are saying "Don't do what you think is right for you, do what I think is right for you". every. single. time. 100% hypocritical.

I write short stories because I enjoy doing it. Is that 'selfish'?

I'm can't be very good. I was in about 4 million and something'th place in the Amazon best seller list last time I checked.

"The Virtue of Selfishness" -- Ayn Rand.

A collection of quasi-philosophic essays on "selfishness" (or perhaps less "hedonistic" seeming, on how "self-centered interests" are NOT necessarily malevolent -- and conversely how "altruism" very often IS {or at least can be} malevolent and harmful) rather than being a fully cohesive book.

People who call others selfish are manipulative fucking scum.

Society is set up to guilt men into giving away most of their time and efforts for the benefit of other people, and to feel shame and guilt when they take a little time for themselves. We can each choose whether to go along with this charade or not.
