The Secret of Adulthood: Why Everyone Lives for Themselves
When you're young, you believe the world should be built on honesty and mutual support. You expect people to be sincere, for friends and loved ones to make sacrifices for you—because you would do the same. And every time that doesn’t happen, you feel disappointed.
When you're young, you believe the world should be built on honesty and mutual support. You expect people to be sincere, for friends and loved ones to make sacrifices for you—because you would do the same. And every time that doesn’t happen, you feel disappointed.
But here’s the truth: as you grow up, you realize one simple fact—everyone lives for themselves. No, this isn’t cynicism. It doesn’t mean people are bad or incapable of doing good. It simply means that at the core of every decision, even the most selfless one, there is always some personal interest.
Selfishness isn’t a flaw—it’s human nature.
You expect people to be selfless, but think about it: you want someone to sacrifice their desires for your sake. Now be honest—would you do that all the time for others?
Accepting this truth will set you free.
You’ll stop waiting for someone to come and make you happy. You won’t see others as traitors just because they don’t meet your expectations. You’ll start viewing people realistically.
And most importantly—you’ll finally allow yourself to live the way you want.
People seek only one thing in life—pleasure. Whether it's success, money, love, self-improvement, or even helping others, in the end, it’s always about personal satisfaction.
So the real question is: are you truly living the way you want?
Are you a woman?
