When we think of the word right off the bat, we think of people not sharing, only caring about themselves, lacking consideration for others. When you put it like that then shit yeah it sounds horrible.
We never think about the positive side of being selfish. Sometimes you just have to. If you like being a doormat the rest of your life then yes... live a selfish free life by all means. I know there's another term for it, but I ain't smart so I don't know what it is. So I'll just stick with selfish. But anyways ya'll know what I'm saying... Don't just pass something great up because you're too nice and think others will see you as a twat for pushing yourself to get it before anyone else.
I won't be talking about only being selfish with material things either. Job promotions for instance. If you are up for the promotion, but decline it because you think it's selfish to push hard to get it. NO! life don't work that way little missy, you go for that shit!
Someone you know wants to borrow money and say's she'll pay you back... You know you ain't gonna see that money again so you say no. And she calls you selfish.... Of course it is, but it's also smart.
Now this is a tough situation here. You have a tray of 5 chocolate cupcakes you were gonna eat yourself. Fat dog in the corner has a bowl with none... are you gonna give fat dog some cupcakes?... you know what, in this case it's ok to be selfish.a) chocolate will KILL him... and b) he's a fat dog and don't need cupcakes.
So see good selfishness on your part. Well I guess it kinda falls into being a good pet owner more so, but meh!!!
And finally my 'selfish with people example'. If you are seeing/dating 2 people at the same time, and those 2 people want to start seeing other people and still see you at the same time, is it selfish for you to say "NO you can't!" Well for fuck sake of course it's being selfish!... don't be selfish!... slaves were freed a long time ago, you don't own them. Wait unless you really did buy them, like from a black market or something. Then yes, they are property and you may do what you please with them.
OK you all better know I was SOOOO kidding with that last one.
Buying people from the Black Market = Bad!!!

SOOO just to get out my point after yet another inconsistent rambling the following quote pretty much sums up my initial intention of this topic.
