Art of Being Selfish

"The earth is cooler at this part of nature",I thought while I tried to find a good spot to sit.Speaking nonsence or rather philosophy is easy when you are in harmony with nature.Probably that is why I am interested in understanding the fact that humans are like a multifaceted charachter of dreams and effigies of dead feelings.Hmm,I know I am taking it too far.

Selfishness is actually not the opposite of selflessness.Selfishness never despises helping others.Rather selfishness seeks happiness within yourself.Happiness is not a quality but a state of mind.That state could be gathered by actions,reactions and even inactions. The logic of selfishness is that you do an action because it makes you happy.Not because it makes others happy.Because, if you compromise on your dreams and wishes and try to make others happy,that happiness is not your's.If you feel you are happy then its just a reflection of other's happiness like a reflection on water.Reflections are very illusionary and very realisitic but when you drop a stone into the water,the reflection collapses and along with it,your happiness.

To understand it more,one has to go back to basics.We are all persons,persons with unique personalities,desires and needs.Only after that comes families,soceities and communities.Recognizing that we must have our personal space is the first step towards achieving selfishness.If you want to do something,then its always the best to go for it.You cannot compromise on your dreams and later sit regretting about it.Reality never accepts philosophy because philosophy was created to understand reality.Hunger doesnt understand why you are hungry nor does fire ask you the reason why you put hand into it.We compromise on our feelings and desires for the sake of others but atlast no one can help you once the feeling of 'regret' starts.Regret is a poison,which eats you slowly.Atlast regret takes you to unknown heights and makes you jump down.Regret gives you death.

Compromise is a sweet word given to the grudge of not able to do what you wanted.Everyone has a choice in life no matter how much he is forced into something.If you fail to execute your choice,your failure as a human starts there.

People,
    Selfishness is the act of loving yourself.After a long time when you are sitting on the corner of destiny,you make ask yourself a question,"Am I happy",and trust me,that answer depends on the choice you make today.Loosing something that was not your's never makes you sad the way when you loose something out of your hand when you could have stopped it.Selfishness tries to do exactly that.Embrace it people..Let the new philsophy be spread...
