Life is a selfish endeavor

[Busticket]

All we do as humans is to benefit ourselves.
Even eating something, we kill a hopeless animal so that we can survive.
It's all about me,me,me.
We want to be rich, we want to have sexual pleasure and so on.

I couldn't agree more. You are so right. I'm disgusted of this world, I'm disgusted of being a human... I wish I never existed.

Even good things are done for selfish reason

 

[FuneralCry]

That is exactly true. Every single activity we do is out of selfishness, to benefit ourselves in some way. That is just the nature of humans. I think its the way we have evolved and it is for survival as well.

Of course, it's a "Selfish" endeavor; the alternative would be slavery.
The answer is not in "you vs. me", or self-sacrifice (and wouldn't the recipient of that sacrifice be "selfish"?), but in voluntary, uncoerced trade and reciprocation based on mutual values. Respecting the value of one's self as well as others.
