Being Agnostic, I believe that all we're supposed to do is make ourselves content.
This doesn't mean I think all people should only think of themselves. What it means is that I believe people respect others because it makes them feel good about themselves, and because it allows people to communicate with the ones they love.
I believe that doing "evil" things, while they may in the short term benefit the self, will ultimately cause harm to you, and should not be done logically for that reason.
I think there's two types of selfishness - the so-called "selfless" type of being a positive person, which is morally correct and the only true way to live a fulfilling life, and the "narrow-minded" form of selfishness, which is to hurt others in order to reach self-pleasure, which is ultimately destructive and causes people to live a cursed life of self-hate.
Morbid thoughts - always dwelling on the disturbing side of things ;)
