People confuse me. Our actions all seemed to be powered by selfish motives, and those who don't want to admit to their selfishness invented religion. Every now and then someone will do something seemingly selfless, but in the end they will receive some kind of personal gain, but does that make them selfish? Does the need for that metaphorical pat on the back make us selfish?
Selfishness is something looked down upon, rather hypocritically. We're all selfish.
Selfish machines, tearing out eachothers hearts in a quest to find out who we really are.
Does anyone really know who they are? We tell people what we want them to hear about us, giving ourselves a certain identity which may not truly be ours. But if we act the part for so long, you'd think we'd become the person we show ourselves as?
Even thinking about it all confuses me. But maybe it's just one of those things you shouldn't think of, like what will happen when the world runs out of nutella.
