You gotta ask yourself what you want to do in life, and then pursue it. Animals including humans are selfish beings, perhaps all life is, I'm not certain; but the point is that everyone wants to do things that benefit themselves. It isn't something to be disputed or be ashamed of, it is just our nature.

I would submit to you that animals are not completely selfish. Wolves live in packs and care for each other as do ants and many other animals. No one can live our lives for us but that doesn't mean we have to always be alone. We are living in an extreme time. We are all connected. Our greatest accomplishments as humans were team efforts like defeating the Nazis, going to the moon, crossing the plains in wagon trains or even sailing to the new world. There is way too much put on independece and not enough on interdependence. Our culture is stupid and ugly.
