the economist

if i can take any action that involves a result that i will be comfortable with, i will risk it. i find a lot of people these days don't. that's why they stay unhappy for long periods of time.

not always because things dont go to plan. but u always gotta do wat u feel most comfortable with. if u value doing nothing and staying unhappy, then by doing nothing u are doing what u are most happy with. on the other hand, if u value doing something in the hope that it will make u happy if successful more than staying unhappy and doing nothing, then u will be happy by trying.

a self-centred person will often ignore ur motives themselves if u act upon them. if u take action based on something that u feel will benefit urself, a self-centred person, someone affected by ur action, may see it as selfish. a non-self-centred person will understand the reason why u have taken action and forgive it. therefore, action in all ways can be justified. being self-centred to the self-centred. and those who are not self-centred will value taking no offense more than taking offense...thus satisfying once again the philosophy.

the way the theory goes is that if u weigh up all the options and the consequences of your actions and do what u feel is right based upon those consequences, not only to urself but to others, ur actions will be dictated. depending on the type of person u are, selfish or selfless, ur decisions will make u happy. if u are an asshole, then u have disregard for people and others. because the consequences to them of ur actions don't matter.

if u are not an asshole, then u will value not hurting another by looking at the consequences of that action and saying that it is not worth it to u by hurting that person. my philosophy doesn't tell people what to do. it merely examines the way people often work.
