Selfish

Most would like to believe that selfishness is evil and shouldn't be practiced, but when you're constantly putting others before your own happiness then what do you accomplish in life? I like to think we have to have some streak of selfishness in order to be happy in life. Not sacrificing someone else's happiness just putting your own needs and wants before another (when it is appropriate). 

So we should accept there are things in this world that we desire and that's ok - regardless of someone else's belief. I'll usually put myself first if it's a case of sacrificing my overall happiness or another's pride/acceptance - because from my view if they have pride in hurting or belittling others it's not worth a thing, and their acceptance isn't worth my own pain.
