Am a highly Selfish person and I am proud about it

Everyone is selfish and without exceptions. It is not cynical, it is practical and it’s a natural fact. People might feel guilty to accept it but every person knows it inside. Our religions, morals and philosophers encourage Altruism saying you need to be selfless and help others without expecting anything and all those nice sayings to pass time, but no one can eliminate in-built qualities in humans. There are a lot of secrets behind the hypocrisy of the institution of human society.

Parents and children have a very emotional bonding from the beginning times of the human race. Every animal loves its kids by instinct but the period is extended or prolonged longer time in humans that leads to other things. Animals leave their kids after they get the self-surviving abilities, but humans need a lot of time for that. In simple words, parents enjoy the feeling of acceptance from kids and children enjoy the sense of belonging from parents.

In the continuation of upbringing, parents get the ego that my child should have the best quality of life, or my daughter should be the big achiever in my social circle. They will have plans about showing off daughter’s grand marriage or huge dowry for son’s marriage. And meanwhile, if father earns a lot, children develop the hopes for acquiring it, they want to enjoy the parents’ properties like car and etc. become Oscar level actors in showering love and affection. But when parents become old, the kids fight for the question- “who should look after them?” And they will sometimes be starved to death, I have seen the cases. And all relatives and colleagues are in life just to make a crowd on occasions like marriages but no one will be of use when one is in need.

Friends actually use the concept of “Friendship” very nicely for the sake of selfishness. Everyone needs some company to talk, to read, to watch movies, to drink beer, to help in love, job or in any gang wars etc. So friends conveniently use the word “Friend” when in need and after they got over in life, they ll show their original shades. This happens to most people, but they speak philosophy after everything is over. Same thing in the case of siblings absolutely. They will be very loving and caring until one takes over the other financially. So one should accept and understand that all human relations are economical. But people want to believe in beautiful and sweet lies and live in that fantasy.

The point is am not being cynical about people or selfishness. Am actually supporting it and believing in the “Virtue of Selfishness”. Our ancient heads of society are very clever and they programmed people not to know the actual virtues of life, to keep people in sorrow and they kept happiness only for themselves. In the continuation, society enforces impractical things like Altruism, Humanity, Mercy, Goodwill etc, and tries to eliminate or conveniently makes people feel guilty about the natural things inside them. Everyone knows they have selfishness but they don’t say it because it is coded as a bad thing or a sin. But a progressive society tries to understand and accept natural things but doesn’t try to eliminate them. When any emotion is so strong inside, one should understand it to use it to grow in life and be happier, but not suppress it. With ignorance, he will build mental pressure.

Selfishness and Jealousy are the real driving forces of individual or social progress and all other emotions only cause stress. Am a highly Selfish person and I am proud of it. People may have different perceptions, but perceptions have nothing to do with reality.
