I should listen to my gut feeling when it comes to morals . And stay focused on my personal interests more, I feel a lot more at peace. But again with everything that’s going on in the world I also feel guilty bc I’m privileged. I can ignore it all bc I’m not in a war zone.

If your morals compel you to act, do so and make the change you believe in. And also, self interest is ok.

Thanks for reminding me , I think a lot of people are selfish so I always try to be aware of my intentions and if those are not based on selfishness . I think I was more selfish as a teenager than I am now but I still think I can improve to be less selfish.

The greater whole is not the group, unless the group is maximally whole and great. Eg. your ingroup is not great and American society is not whole.

Basically, check yourself: if you would meet a person that shares thoughts with you in the same generous and unfiltered way as you do with others, would you be annoyed or enjoy it? I suspect it would be the latter. You just have to find people like yourself.

I don’t make friends easily bc I seem to offend people . Most people aren’t very logical. Predictable when in groups they all agree on things they never investigated . And when I suggest books to read about that subject they don’t want to read it . And say I’m a know it all and
