No shame in acting out of self interest, but you need to realize what it ultimately is about.
Acting out of survival is the most common thing to do, and it's not just us humans, literally every living being out there is doing it. But there has been an unecessary glorification of survival that has been going around, humanity has been raising the bar for it's own survival for no reason, it's been raised so much that people need to work their entire lives for someone else just to keep their right to live. Surviving is a trivial thing even for the smallest creatures on the planet, don't make such a big fuss about it.
To indulge in pleasure is the next best thing that people know, and that is what is preventing them from doing anything meaningful their whole lives. One extreme example is opioid addiction, the feeling you get during that first high is so unbelievably pleasant, it feels like arriving in heaven, nothing comes close to it. But to chase that high everyday is going to cost you everything, and you will keep trying to fill that insatiable addiction even when you end up on the streets. Now you may not have chosen that kind of a caliber to feel pleasure, but you may have found some smaller weapons to shoot yourself in the foot with, such as junk food, nsfw content, ligher substance abuses, or just video games. make no mistake you can remain hooked on those your entire life.
-And lastly, you may have chosen to indulge in trying to extend your Control, it can take many forms such as trying to control your body and brain with sports, to trying to control what's around you by doing activism, or running an online community. Or if you are in the governmental / law enforcement sector it could just be making efforts to control the public order.

Scio Nihil: Dissolving Beliefs
+In this tutorial we're going to take a look at the second Nihilism mantra that you need to know, as it is the one that will ensure you remain open to the possibility of knowing. It is used to trim away beliefs, to be able to undo all distortions that one may have upon his own perception.
One day, Aristotle was walking on the beach. A glorious sunset was happening, but he had no time for such petty daily events. He was thinking seriously about some great problem of existence, because for Aristotle, existence is a problem, and he believes he is going to solve it. Thinking seriously, he was walking up and down the beach. There was another man on the beach who was doing something very intensely – so intensely that even Aristotle could not ignore him.
