Today I realized that my boss hates his job. Probably in the same way that I have felt about certain of my jobs in the past. I went over to transact some kind of status with him, and he said "Can I leave now?"
and I realized that he meant, forever, from this job. So I said, "Yeah. go ahead". Because I have always loved the idea of people doing things for themselves. And that might be why some people think I'm selfish, but I think if we were all a little happier, we'd be a little nicer too. So I'm all for being selfish, for all the right reasons.
so, aside from that, I also ran across this. You must check it out. Its a little toilet humor, but completely safe for work, your mother, and any one else.. except maybe the cat.

I think you are on to something here. I always have been taught that being selfish is bad. At the same time pretty much everybody looks out after themselves or after their own interests, yet most of the people will cover it up with a whole lot of fluff - what a bunch of BS! Not sure anymore where I was going with that... acceptance/recognition of your "vices" leads to happiness?

that it is not selfish if you are being honest about what you need. assuming you aren't a sociopath of course and that you have some grip on reality.

I agree about the selfish comment. Fulfilling your needs is not bad. Bad selfish behavior is making yourself happy with total disregard for how it impacts those around you. Like when your significant other has been waiting all week to enjoy that slice of pie in the fridge that happens to be their favorite type of pie and you eat it because you wanted a midnight snack (this is totally hypothetical, I swear).
Unfortunately, it's not always this cut and dry and sometimes making yourself happy means hurting someone else (but they say it's better for them in the long run).
