a post all for me, I'm honored, lol. I'll keep this short, cause 1 I just woke up, and 2 it's all I can think of at the moment. By in the middle balance, so to speak is more like recognizing you don't have to be better than X, or even knowing you're worse than Y, because in reality, WHO CARES?! You are you, focus on you, sure be great, but be great for yourself. We are ultimately selfish, though don't take this wrong. I am still very compassionate, but I'm realizing that 1. I am the only thing I somewhat know to be true (I am aware of my own consciousness, and cannot be sure if you are even another that I am interacting with or something else, so I live by habituation to assume you are real like me...but i digress ( ... )

Yeah, who cares, I know. I still struggle with it, but I guess who doesn't? When making an effort to let go of it, I always feel it's working against the social pressure, so to speak, to always strive to surpass X, etc etc. There are times that I do need to just let it all go, and ground myself. To allow myself to become paramount for myself, it doesn't seem selfish, to an extreme anyway. We're designed as self-serving creatures, after all ( ... )
