"Yes, all or almost all of people's unhappiness comes from being preoccupied with others, not self. If people were concerned only with themselves, with their true good, everyone would be (or should be) satisfied with their lives, they would not make others suffer, nor would they suffer because of them.

Yes, all or almost all of people's unhappiness comes from being preoccupied with others, not self. If people were concerned only with themselves, with their true good, everyone would be (or should be) satisfied with their lives, they would not make others suffer, nor would they suffer because of them.
""Da, toate sau aproape toate nefericirile oamenilor vin din faptul că sunt preocupați de alții, nu de sine. Dacă oamenii s-ar preocupa numai de sine, de adevăratul lor bine, fiecare ar fi (sau ar trebui să fie) mulțumit de viața lui, nu i-ar face pe alții să sufere și nici n-ar suferi din pricina lor."
