We sometimes congratulate someone, not because we value or find worthy what they have just achieved, but only because we fear coming across as jealous.

We spend a huge chunk of our lives worrying about whether or not we will eventually get the person and/or the things we need or want. Once we get them, we spend the rest of our lives worrying about whether or not we will eventually lose them.

Some of the people we feel sorry for feel sorry for us for thinking that they are the ones who should be felt sorry for.

We are, or rather our natural desire to evade pain and to attain pleasure is, the primary reason we do or say every single thing we do or say.

*Prostitution* is a euphemism for rape incidents that the victim and the economy profits from.

Every single good person is a good person for their own sake, not for the sake of humanity, not even for the sake of another human being.

No single bad person regards themselves as a bad person.

To label someone as selfless is symptomatic of having bought the preposterous claim that a human being can have great concern for other human beings and little concern for themselves, or that, when taken to extremes, a human being can have great concern for other human beings and absolutely no concern for themselves.

It is humanly impossible to be selfless. As a matter of fact, human beings are inherently selfish.
