Hardwired for survival
The moment you realize that literally every action taken in life is self-serving. At this point it's necessary to get real and be radically honest about the true nature of our motivation to take action. The best we can do is hold the intention that whatever we do towards ourselves is also somehow of benefit to others. What say you?

So the issue with the thought that every action you take being about self-survival is that there are traits and actions that are taken that deliberately cause detrement to ones survival. Charity, self-sacrifice, and teaching are all examples of actions that do not serve ones personal interests and in fact can cause ones life to end abruptly. Giving a man down on his luck some food has no way of benefitting you but people still do it to a point that others exploit the kindness of strangers A teacher shielding a student from a shooter does not serve and benefit the teacher as the teacher is dead. There can not be any benefits to your survival after you die. A man teaching basic math has no way of benefitting himself from doing this but we still have people who teach math. When survival is called into question over the actions and behavior of people evidence suggests that it isn't just self-serving but, if you have evidence of every action people take being self serving I would love to listen to it.

"Whatever we do towards ourselves is also somehow the benefit of others..." No, if you're knowingly hurting people for your own benefit, you're still hurting people. Saying essentially "If it's good for me it must somehow be good for all" is just a lie to make people feel better about not contributing anything positive to society. (edited)

If other people are now engaged or in happy relationships or marriages, then I deserve the same too. I deserve love. I am no less worthy than others. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that I should be treated equally and with the same dignity and rights.

If you were a movie/ anime character and you were watching yourself as a viewer, would you like your character? If not, why your character would be judged by you ?

Every time I meet someone new, they tend to spill the tea about themselves. Like 99% of them. I didn't even ask. I listen to them well and then suddenly... "Are you a psychologist?" No, sir, I'm just mentally unstable 😭

The pursuit of happiness
As much as you seek your happiness in out sources, as much your desires become uneasy to be fulfilled. Instead of pursuing happiness in the outside, work so hard on your abilities to remain strong under any overwhelming situation, indeed that will ignite more satisfaction within your heart. (edited)

Does anyone else feel like they can’t find what they’re looking for?
I think dating apps have really ruined dating for so many people because there are so many different choices and it seems like both men and women that they don’t have to care or take things seriously because they can just swipe on someone else. This is really sad because the real world doesn’t work... read more
