I think it only came about to me recently during one of the Lit lessons. I can't remember if I mentioned this before. But one time while doing Larkin, Mr Ho mentioned that almost everything in the end is done for self-interest, even love. The reasoning is that you want the other person to be happy because their happiness makes you happy as well. So in a sense, it is for self-interest, and there aren't really any counters to this logic because it would defy definition otherwise. On this note, Larkin is one depressing person to read about. His poems take everything you ever believed in and squish them into the ground. But it's okay I guess, cos it helps to solidify your faith and belief in these. So there, I'm not turning into a cynical old man. But at the same time I read about and remembered the $20 note story, the moral of which is that one's value will always remain the same. So it doesn't matter if you feel alone, because admitting to it doesn't change your self-worth does it? If anything, admitting to your own sadness takes the most courage of all. Sometimes it's okay to be scared. To think that the world has nothing left for you and all you're doing is merely being a passenger. The important thing is to snap out of it and realise that isn't true. Because even if things are done inherently for self-interest (supposing this is true), it doesn't make their care for you mutually exclusive. People are hard to change, at their very core. So don't worry so much, because even after all time, love remains. Remember that, and cheer up.
