    “I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.”

    - Gestalt prayer

    This worries me.

    It sounds like a VERY lazy and complacent attitude.

    Like a big log floating down stream . . .

    Like a log. Perfect description, as it sounds very similar to not giving a *kitten*.

    People who don't want to get married.
    People who don't want to have kids.
    People who don't want to beleive Christianity.

    Stuff like that.

    I don't want kids because I think I would be a horrible mother. So what does that make me?

    There was qualifications on "People who don't want to have kids." That was a very basic statement. According to that poster, you are selfish.

    On the other hand, I think you are smart.

    I am usually right, so I suggest you believe me.

    I'm somewhat a cynic-therefore a minimalist. So not wanting kids, to get married (I'm actually open to it with the right woman), or attaching all sorts of unwanted baggage (such as organized religion) into my life works for me.

    And by right woman, he means me.

    Doesn't Christianity preach against judging others? And what if one can't have kids because they're infertile and can't get married because they're gay?

    It makes you a horribly selfish person apparently. You should have lots and lots of children and give them a crappy childhood and future just so you won't be a selfish person. Obviously that's the right answer.

    Hypothetical scenarios are just not up to par here. I'm sure you could come up with a much better response.

    I think "selfish" and "self-centered" is too often considered negative. How many people do we know - friends, family, co-workers - who create anxiety, stress, pain, and negativity in their lives in the name of "doing for others." I have family members who are miserable because they don't consider their own wants or needs.

    We are creatures of survival and comfort. The relationships that I feel the best about are ones where I am getting some needs met. Often the best way to get my needs met are to ask for them, set boundaries around them, etc. I don't think it's wrong to consider myself first sometimes. Maybe most times. Even as a husband and father, if I don't think of myself by taking care of myself, I am no good to my family.

    In my experience, most of the time discussion about "selfish" really is a discussion about judgement - that is, *you* are selfish because *you* don't consider my needs as much as I think you should. When I talk of others being selfish, I am generally speaking in terms of others not acting the way I think they should. Who's really being selfish then?


    Expectations
    Then who is to say if those are right or wrong?

    Married people are the most selfish people I know. Along with people that reproduce. They're always clogging up my very sacred facebook page with photos of their silly naked babies and wedding rings. News flash folks . . . nobody gives a sh@t.

    I'm not touching Christianity with a ten foot pole.
    They give a sh@t, and it's their facebook page, facebook is all about being selfish. If it offends you that they are posting their children and their engagements and rings, instead of whining about what they are posting on THEIR pages why not just remove them? After all it's not your page they are posting on, but your news feed ;)

    Just saying. :)
