Kindle Notes & Highlights
“The great revelation of selfishness is harder for those who care,”
“Here’s the paradox. If you were completely self-centered, you wouldn’t be worrying about being self-centered.”
“So we’re all equally important in the grand scheme of things. I can see that. But how does that give me the right to pursue my own happiness at the cost of others’?”
“Ah, that’s the catch, isn’t it? Everybody is important; everybody is responsible for their own path, their own happiness. But we are still responsible to each other. To each other, mind. Not for each other.”
I’ve made peace with the problem by focusing on what I am meant to do on this planet, rather than on happiness.
