I think I'm very selfish. I'm awfully greedy, you know. I want all of these things that should be out of my reach... and I don't care. I want beyond what's reasonable. I like to indulge myself. Doesn't that make me a selfish person?

That makes you a person with ambition and desire. And maybe a little bit selfish, sure... But I'm selfish too, and I think that a lot of what you think is "reasonable" or "out of your reach" is just wrong. You still hold yourself back, and you feel guilty for going as far as you do. You're feeling guilty about it right now.

Only if it hurts someone I care about.

...Mm, well, obviously you need to be careful about that kind of thing. I'm bad at that too, so maybe I'm not the best judge... I'm just telling you how I see it.

I'll be more selfish, then.

Good.
