6.8 Billion People

I just asked whether or not Houchin is focusing too much on the self and here are my thoughts:

If it is true that only I exist, than of course I should be focusing on myself because there's nothing else to focus on.

However, the universe is perceived to be infinite and if it really is infinite, then we are all meaningless and there is no point on focusing on the self.

Disclaimer: I don't live by what I just said because I would probably not be living.

What I perceive to be true is that there are 6.8 billion people all living on the same planet who all have developed minds that should be used to their full potential. Seeing the world as this, I believe self-interest is very important because it invokes passion that can help us achieve great things.
