A Thing Called Self

Human, we can never escape the fact that selfishness is a norm for us.
Selflessness, instead, is a rarity and of value.

So many times we use " I" in our lives- in our thinking, and in our actions. This is our self-concept. Our selves are so important to us. To the more religious people, the existence of "soul" makes each individual entities so precious, so...tempted.

Is thinking about one's own self wrong?

I never said that, and I will never ever imply anything with that kind of sentiment.

This blog simply questions. It never provides answers, don't you realise? 

This is because People are so different I myself am never comfortable with one-size-fits-all attitude.

It depends on our own selves. How we make light with who we are. People can suggest this and that as the way you are supposed to live, to ascertain meanings in life , but it's us who make the call. Who chooses.

I have chosen mine. Right or wrong, it rarely matters to me. I've thought about it, and I've chosen it. There are many other options available, some easy breezy, some highly risky. I've chosen what I think I wanted to be, not something I should be. I blame my narcisstic, vain, and rebellious personality here. I embraced my relatively narcissistic attitude, my vain demeanor and my rebellious gene. And I've chosen.

Am I a better person now? Nah. Am I happy? Nah. I've been happier. But am I comfortable in my current skin? Relatively, yes.
