"Youโ€™re allowed to be selective. Being kind isnโ€™t always the same as being available. Every living system survives by selection. Knowing what to keep and what to let go is how life stays coherent. At some point caring stops meaning โ€˜hold everythingโ€™ and starts meaning โ€˜remove whatโ€™s harming the whole.โ€™ Bodies do it, ecosystems do it and communities have always done it too through shared rites, responsibilities, customs, social structures, etc. What we call being โ€˜goodโ€™ or โ€˜kindโ€™ is sometimes hiding a deeper need to belong or be validated. These ideas reflect old moral hierarchies and colonial systems that rewarded obedience, loyalty, productivity and self erasure in service of an imposed order. Those same values are now reinforced by consumerist systems that benefit from over-functioning and endless availability. But the thing is that systems functioning in excess dont evolve. they grow increasingly exhausted and eventually collapse or implode. I see this pattern throughout nature and looking at wisdom traditions across time too, balance was about sustaining a coherent relationship with life (expansion/retraction, immersion/withdrawal, creation/maintenance/destruction). Which means knowing when to let go or remove, so that natural movement can flow. Energy requires that structure in order to take form. To me the message is pretty consistent. life requires limits in order to remain lifegiving. Long story short sometimes care looks like staying and sometimes it looks like stopping. some times it looks like cutting things out so something else can live. Itโ€™s ok to be selective. life depends on it."

You're allowed to be selfish.

Just be selfish with the knowledge that we are all One.

I don't think putting one self first is to be selfish. For me, being selfish is only thinking about onself, with no regard to others. To take, without reciprocate, etc....

Yeah a lot of our beliefs are hidden in our definitions.

I don't like the idea of good people because it brings with it the assumption that there are bad people.

There are limited people & some are more limited than others. Discernment is important but judgement is very limiting.
