      Sometimes you’ll reap enormous rewards through selfishness and cruelty.

      I guess the market has spoken. Be a sociopath.

          Kill the part of yourself that’s holding you back. Hollow yourself out into you are an empty husk, an all consuming void, that relentlessly hungers but can never be filled.

            I wish to make certain that everyone is aware this is sarcastic advice, do not do this.

      For me, even when a kind act goes punished, I don’t regret the actual decision even if I wish I could have prevented the unintended consequences. But I make an effort to believe that making the right decision is valuable in of itself

      I have regretted, sometimes for years, not indulging in a selfish impulse.

      Do you regret the action if kindness itself, or do you just abhor the response you got from it?
