Question of the day

Is it better to do something selfishly based on what you feel is in the best interest of your own ultimate happiness or choose not to do something for your ultimate happiness in order to keep everyone surrounding you happy?

I apologize for any typing errors. I am typing minus my left middle finger. It is not functioning properly... I got into a fight with the washing machine this morning and it definitely won the battle as evidenced when it slammed shut on the finger I was using to flip it off... The next load I put into it is going to be jam packed full of dirty underwear, ketchup stains, towels, etc. especially if I end up losing my fingernail.
