Joey said it, except when we're talking about happiness for ourselves and self-interest, we're not saying make yourself happy at the expense of others. You should be capable of your own happiness without the aid of others whatsoever. I think it's really difficult, and I'll admit I can't do it yet myself. If you lock me in a room with only pen and paper to indulge myself, I'd seriously go crazy.
Personally, I think we're not self-dependent, we have a need of others for whatever reason.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

In fact .. I am usually in my room with a pen and paper to amuse myself ..by happening fish » 4/6/2003, 5:31 pm
yes, especially if those others are parents, and those parents have decided that you will never ever live up to their expectations and they resent you for it.
