You should read Friederich Nietzsche

Anon I have literally witnessed the 7th dimension. I have halos in my I's. Can your pathetic Jesus say the same? He only has blue I's. Jesus is dead. I boast because Christ evidently never descended to hell.

You can't just make stuff up like that. Altruistic egoism, get outta here.

Every philosophy was made up by someone at some point, why can't I here and now?
I think the phrase I coined is a fitting one for what OP described: desiring to help others for the reason that he alleviates his own suffering by doing so.

become a twitter warrior but first you have to prove yourself in the discord battlegrounds

>>22775403
Get a real job where you save people and volunteer. If you actually wanna help people that’s what you do. Most fighters and warriors these days a fight for demonic forces
