I don't waste my time or energy hating people. There's enough of my own faults to focus on, anyway. I am a selfish person. I can't let anyone else steal away my spot in being a horrible person. :I Not that you are. You seem alright. I'm just saying, I wouldn't hate you. It's just a wasteful thing to do. You may irritate me at times, as most people do, but it's nothing more than that, don't worry. As for altruism, I said can.In many cases, altruism should focus on the self as well, instead of just mindlessly giving every bit you can to everyone. I believe in assisting others, but that's not to say I can't focus on myself. Selfless altruism reminds me of martyrdom. You can help others, sure. But I don't believe that altruism is necessarily all that selfless, though. That's just a stupid opinion of mine, however. Take it as you will. Be offended if you wish, tell me I'm wrong, or digest the idea and quietly tell yourself that I'm wrong. Either way is suitable.
