Wasn't there something about the color pink being nausea-inducing?

There is nothing wrong with being a little selfish. It can be healthy for both you AND your environment. ZOMG!

Now why would being selfish be something that could also benefit your environment?

Let me put it this way:

Have you ever travelled by plane? Do you remember the instructions about the breath masks in case of emergency? You should always take care of yourself and make sure that you have your own breath mask on first. THEN help others if you still have the time.

Isn't that selfish? Yes, but it is also benefitting the other people on the plane at the same time. Because if you decided to help others first (who might have been able to help themselves anyway), you would risk of endangering yourself by putting on the breath mask too late. And if that happened, you would become a liability to all the other people on the plane and thus you would be putting everyone else at risk, too.

It's absolutely okay to be a little selfish. The right kind of selfishness can help everyone involved - both the elder lady and the guy helping her. It can be a good thing.

It's really about an specific situation. I meant all throughout life. Somehow selfish to a point that we all want to be better than next person. Stepping it up, you know. This kind of selfish.

Still not sure if I know what you mean. Does it mean that being good/happy/rich/successful/whatever is not enough for you? You have to be actually better than others at these in order to feel good?

I mean the competition on being better than anyone else. But mostly with women. I tend to want to feel the superior to women. Because if a feel like a woman feels better than me I try to let her know, no cheaply, that indeed she is not.

I think most women feel like this. We want to be liked so much that we do a lot to be appreciated. And if we see danger on being unappreciated because of another girl, well, we rule out the competition.

It's wild.

I see... . Cat fight! >.<
