This is another thread to shame men for being perverts

Joking, it is their lives they are wasting.

In other news I am planning to make pizza today, and I might add some olives.

Lately, I've noticed that when people are selfish, I can become incredibly selfish in return. They overlook how their actions affect me, and I start ignoring how my lack of help might make things worse for them than it does for me.

I can always recover, but it's frustrating to constantly remind others that I'm human too. I have my own needs, and my well being should matter just as much as theirs. If I am to ignore what's best for them, I would be doing way better for myself, wouldn't I?

I've also been thinking about how many people seek out inspiring stories and role models, not to create change at all or to be resilient towards their own life difficulties. It is to feel more comfortable about their own lives and the world in general. It's disappointing how often people become complicit with your adversaries while still cheering you on, and without their awareness too. It is almost as if people's suffering exists as an opium.

-#- Look at them!! We have it way better in our country! In our social class!! In our system!! In our ethnicity!! And look at those who managed to overcome their challenges!! That means we don't have to do anything about it. We don't need to help anyone!-#-

Some of you will understand my point, but I am sure plenty will look away or worse twist it to mean something else and respond to that instead.. 🤔 As usual.

I must make the tomatoes sauce to go with the cheese.

@ostfuidctyvm we should all nap. It's the weekend. Tomorrow will be a busy day.
@Miram I've acknowledged that I'm selfish these days in the sense that I'm going to do what's right for me. I mitigate that by not bringing other people with me on that journey, so I'm not affecting anyone else. It would be much harder if I had to engage with a particular social circle but I don't. I can just do my own thing entirely. I'm not selfish in the wider context of my role in society. I'm polite, I'm courteous, I try to do my bit to make the world harmonious. I just restrict my social life because that's what works best for me.

@ostfuidctyvm I think there is no escape from affecting others as long as we live in societies and rely on them. But that can be in varying degrees.

I don't agree with your definition of selfish. I know a bit about you and I don't see it.
