I Am Selfish

You cannot worry and be genuinely happy at the same time. An obvious non sequitur, I know. It’s physically impossible.  Commonsense.  Passes the intuition test with flying colors. Two emotions that organically take up residence on opposite ends of the emotion spectrum cannot co-exist amicably; they’re unspoken enemies.  Therefore, NEVER violate someone else’s happiness with selfish and unnecessary sharing of unfortunate personal information, including and ESPECIALLY as this dictum pertains to family members and close relatives. To do so is flat-out venal and inordinately self-serving.  Shoulder whatever burdens come your way stoically and with minimal complaints, but above all else keep these problems to yourself and ONLY yourself.  Dumping your personal worries out into the public square so that others, through no fault of their own, will involuntarily be forced to worry about you and your well-being is patently unfair and the epitome of egotism. Only inherently selfish people behave in such a detestable manner; considerate individuals know better.
