Egoism is NOT a negative thing. It does not mean that humans are bad-natured or selfish in the conventional negatively connotated sense. Egoism simply means that our first priority is ourselves. Which is true. But just because man's first and foremost goal is to make himself happy does not necessarily mean that he will be, "boastful, selfish, or conceited." It just means that he wants to be happy. Given a situation in which he can be happy without having to endanger his fellow man, destroy his earth, or be generally unpleasant, he won't. We just assume that he will because we've been brought up in a society in which the only way we know how to function is through self-centered egoism. We've never lived in a society in which we can be completely secure and safe but not have to look at our fellow man as competition. Never. Your point about man throughout history is null because we've never had the opportunities that capitalism has presented us without the carnal and brutal social aspects that capitalism promotes. Basically we're living

I can't believe I just read that entire thing. If I had your number, I would like to think that I would call you, but I really don't know where to start to speak my thoughts.. that and I don't have your number. :)

I will say that your journal is one of the few that I enjoy reading because what you say has some validity to it. It makes me rethink my views on things. I like that. Agree with practically everything you say, and if I don't agree, I definitely respect it. Most people our age don't have half the knowledge that you have about our world.

I have to get back to studying.
