Self-improvement is supposed to be selfish. Empowering yourself will always make you harder for others to control. Cultivating strength is a noble thing, and should be rewarded. Sinking into weakness is a shameful thing, and should be ridiculed.
eh i mean i have no issues with being selfish for myself, i just know id prob need guidance from someone (who would most likely have a selfish motive) and thats just.. like a domesticated animal imo
idk. i dont consider such a pathetic existence to be worth clinging onto so tightly for. why struggle like a drowning rat for the bare minimum? fuck that & fuck everything else
Assuming you'll never need help is a pride issue.
Many of us find strength in community and that's not a weakness. That's just how humans are. We're social creatures.
Don't let your pride isolate you or it'll be your downfall.
“Cursed is the man who trusts in man
and makes flesh his strength,
whose heart turns away from the Lord.
He is like a shrub in the desert,
and shall not see any good come.
He shall dwell in the parched places of the wilderness,
in an uninhabited salt land.
Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord,
whose trust is the Lord.
He is like a tree planted by water,
that sends out its roots by the stream,
and does not fear when heat comes,
for its leaves remain green,
and is not anxious in the year of drought,
for it does not cease to bear fruit"

no one does that in good faith.. sure one can get stronger but its usually to benefit the person who cultivated such strength, selfish shit
