commentary: selfishness and the yellow brick road
food for thought - i think the problem with selfishness is we don’t take it far enough - we aren’t selfish enough - we don’t take it to the end of the examination the exploration - which to me is if we all were truly selfish we would want to live with out fear to be happy healthy wealthy content and live in a creative and humane society and be able to enjoy life to the fullest - i believe we all would want that both individually and collectively - if we think about it how can we enjoy all these things if we are alone and have everything we wanted and everybody else is struggling - that’s only half way down the road of selfishness but to go to the end who would we enjoy our selfishness with if we were alone and paranoid like most leaders of the world - they get to the top and then they have to worry about being toppled and protecting themselves - that is no way to live - but this is as far as our world has taken selfishness too - by the very nature and concept of selfishness as i see it we aren’t selfish enough i personally would want to live in a world where i and everybody had what i/we/they would want for themselves and everybody else too - a content and full world - but we live don’t live in that world we live in a paranoid schizophrenic world where the politics of fear and poverty prevail and where we go along to get along even though we know its wrong - its short sighted selfishness = the status-quo and that is why we need to be collectively selfish if we are going to survive ourselves and the future is going to have a future too - food for thought -
