Selfishness is a Virtue

Now i hear myself say this way too much implicitly and thinking it way too much, so im just going to say it explicitly. Being selfish is pounded into our brains from when we are young that its immoral and inconsiderate, which from my point of view, is a load of shit. first of all i will state that i dont believe that selfishness in every way is good and sometimes can be bad, but generally and more often then not i think its healthy, rational and wise which is what we all aim to be right?

So lets say you are in the supermarket to pick up some crackers (i like crackers) and you notice there is one box left oh noes. You somehow supernaturally know that the lady approaching the cracker box also wants the box, what do you do. do you take the box for yourself or let the lady have it, you can get the crackers another time. Well I say snatch that box, yes that would be deemed selfish (at a low level ). you are living your life for yourself and noone else, you will enjoy those crackers as much as the lady will, so improve your life at the cost of others.

Being selfish is not all me talk, it can be also quite considerate from a broad perspective. I personally like to listen to peoples problems because im nosey and all that, but not only that because i get enjoyment knowing someone is leaving the conversation with me better off then they were when they started the conversation with me. now i wouldnt listen to the problems or try and help if i didnt want to, which means my selfishness is leading to the improvement of life of others as well as my own, and i dont see whats wrong wiith that

Sure these points  and examples are trivial, but they do apply to better examples that i cant think of right now, just the other day i found myself telling my friend to stop thinking about what other people think and to start acting over their own interests. which pretty much says, start being selfish. What i am really trying to say here is fight for what you want, and dont let anyone get in the way what you want and if they do dont be afraid to plow through them, to get what you deserve :)

Thats my failure of an attempt of a rant about pricks who judge people and claim they are being selfish, its people like them who discourage creativity and outside the box thinking in this world and if i could punch them through my screen right now i would :)
