The law of one answers this kind of question perfectly, have neither of you read it?
The selfish path is a choice one can take, simply because of the logical deduction that to serve oneself is also serving everyone else as one, because you are the one as well as everyone else. However it breaks down at a certain level apparently because just serving oneself becomes a denial of oneness
You know I said it was a perfect description but it's not really. I would guess there comes a point where if you serve only your self you would begin to question what that even is, as is the complication of the universe, so the idea of self service on both sides of thinking becomes one because of the lack of distinction.
You know to other's here there is nothing "wrong" about self service. It is only your perception. If you were to truly see the light side, you realise no matter which "side" you choose, we are all one, and so you should respect your other self for choosing to identify as separate from you.
In fact sometimes I think that self service really is a service for all, as it eliminates the idea of loneliness. But then again maybe loneliness is not what we think it is…

Again here, you say it exists to be overcome, but to say one thing exists for a purpose is to say all things should have purpose, which in itself brings a sense of meaninglessness and determinism.
Though perhaps our own comprehension of meaning insinuates a meaning itself, can we know?

It's harsh, but I've never seen it said that maybe that there is not just one, but 2? Why is one more logical? We do live currently in a manifestation where language is essentially just descriptions of polarities, ie TWO. It seems like such a guess, the idea of one, but maybe that's why I'm in this world? Because I believe in 2?

What exactly are your emotions obeying? Your higher emotions of desire for mastery and control? Then that is not control. Before you can say you've mastered anything you need to define you. If you've done that you probably wouldn't be here, sounding like an edgelord… So I can see where the original poster is coming from.
I feel like too many will take that last poster seriously, because he seems to be on the zeitgeist of the internet very pointedly. But it's becoming so clear how young everyone here is, and me. We are children rejecting the wisdom of our elders, simply wasting time and ignoring the elephant of our real problems, on the internet.
That is my conclusion to this post, that all the logics and revelations here are a mere side quest and philosophical distraction to why we're actually here. For so long I've taken discussion on the internet, here, and other places as an actual source of philosophical enlightenment over the actual older people in my life. I can't be the only one. The people here are really "edgelords", it's the best way to describe the irrelevance of their apathy because the only true meaning I've felt has come from the real people I have met and have been taught by, not the fake enlightened personas I've constructed around the posts I've seen on boards like this.
I think if you can't justify your feelings about the world to another human people in person, then maybe you don't really feel it, maybe you're just lost in a game of intellectual abstraction

I don't know you, but I feel you represent the naivety many fall for. The internet is made of words not feelings. You go on the internet to escape feelings and the real world, so if you look for meaning here you will just become confused, you forget that this is just a distraction at heart. "Reacting to stimuli" is a horrible description of the world which I'm sure many of your friends and family would cringe at, if not down right not comprehend.
I will say maybe I'm going a bit to the extreme, I think there is much that will trigger a spiritual kind of rise in any person, but to all the long term lurkers, you already know what is up, you are just hiding from the real world. And not the world the internet makes the real world out to be… that's false too. I've been here too long
