A surreal artistic representation of a human head split in two: one side represents rigid logic with cracked stone textures, and the other side represents the fiery unconscious mind with vibrant explosions of energy and a silhouette of a person breaking chains.

Deep within each of us lies a hidden engine called the "Unconscious." It dictates our deepest desires long before our logical mind can process them. When "Selfishness" surfaces, society often condemns it. But have we ever wondered if it is merely a defense mechanism triggered by our subconscious to protect us from collapsing under the weight of a demanding Reality?

The Conflict Between Self-Love and Logic

We live in a state of perpetual Conflict. Logic commands us to sacrifice for others to appear "moral" and "good" in the eyes of society. Meanwhile, Self-Love screams from within, pleading for survival and recognition. This inner tearing is not a moral failing; it is the human condition clashing with the cold expectations of reality.

Reality and the Subconscious: The Ultimate Face-off

While Reality imposes boundaries and obligations, the Unconscious seeks absolute freedom. In this context, selfishness isn't necessarily "evil"—it is the soul's attempt to restore balance. To love yourself first is not a sin; it is often the only "logic" that ensures you survive in a world that constantly tries to drain your energy.

"Selfishness in this context is not a crime; it is the soul's desperate attempt to balance a draining reality with a subconscious fighting for survival."

 Perhaps it’s time to stop judging our inner instincts so harshly. Balancing who we are (The Unconscious) with what we must do (The Logic) is the only way to navigate a complex Reality without losing our souls.
