As we mature, it's essential to acknowledge the inherent selfishness in human nature. Expecting others to act selflessly is unrealistic since every individual prioritizes their own desires and pleasures. Understanding this can transform our expectations and interactions with others.

Once we accept that everyone acts in their self-interest, we will stop demanding more from them. This shift in perspective allows for greater empathy, as we realize that others are not obligated to sacrifice their needs for ours. Recognizing this can lead to more harmonious relationships and a more realistic view of human motivations.
