Chapter Three - Selfishness

I’m selfish.

I want to live my own life, by my own will, desiring what I want to desire, and living for as long as I see fit.

I disagree with any morality or system of laws or constitution that does not comply with my selfish needs. I don’t want to be restricted. I do not want to be held in shackles. I don’t want to be critiqued or judged or spied upon or prevented from doing or injured.

I want to run like a naked soul through the world. The world should be my playground.

Pretty Interesting. I think most people feel the same, though I don't know that I agree that one should be able to fully indulge his or her selfishness.
