Self-Focus

If you can’t be good to your own self, you won’t know how to truly be good to others.

In a world where conformity is more and more praised as the norm and independent thinking is considered as an extreme ideology; many are unable to be their own self because through tradition, culture and societal pressures people have incorrectly learned that selflessness and self-sacrifice is righteous. However as represented throughout Theory of Self-Relativity, selflessness and self-sacrifice is not righteous; it is self-abuse.

Being self-focused requires critical-thinking and minimization of emotional-reasoning and guilt-ridden beliefs. Self-reliance and independence are key to establishing internally derived self-identity. Being self-focused is not synonymous with being selfish; however, selflessness clearly defines having no sense of Self (self “less”). When you have no sense of self, you can’t have self-identity and you will be forced to rely on other-people or other-things to validate your existence and to give you your self-identity.
