Are you being sarcastic? If I'm making a painting and someone wants to start scribbling on it, am I selfish for not allowing them?



I am being sarcastic. I think it’s more nuanced than the author thinks and he’s projecting.

Other people have egos but he probably does too for wanting the project to be an extension of himself.

It’s okay to want that, but other people aren’t bad and selfish for not conforming to your will. Sometimes you just don’t see things eye to eye and need to move on.
