used to turn to christianity but now I praying does nothing for me. since I recall "God is dead"
Just an Anon trying to become positive

Just don't take advantage of someone for your personal gain to their detriment.
It's pretty common sensically delicious, in my opinion.
Read Musashi
Put yourself in a mental state where you rely on the kindness and love of others to not kill yourself. Enough drugs might do the trick.
Look no further. Or go read Confessions or something if you want more substance

Sorta this.
In particular, get in the mental habit of thinking about yourself as another person - be compassionate to yourself like you should to others, and learn to identify and empathize with yourself and others equally (just reading a bunch of literary fiction will prolly do this).
Also ya taking enough drugs that you really start to get afraid of the consequences will definitely spur you to figure this one out (source: I matured a lot after I got into meth and had a bunch of hiv scares from the gay meth orgy scene). You gotta stop like 95% of your drug use for it to work tho - drugs kill your capacity for empathy.

Basically just adjust your definition of "self-interest" by adjusting your definition of "self".
