Whats in it for me

Thats the single question that drives all human relations, no matter where or no matter when. That is not the problem. The problem is when people deny it and try to hide this fact in the guise of love, friendship, relationship and all this shit. The problem is when people dont believe what they say, dont say what they believe but spend whole lifetimes trying to convince others and themselves that the reverse is true. How pitiful is human existence and what scumbags we all are.
