How's that for a jury?

Those people are all mine

They can think by themselves

In my perception they are mine

Luckily your personal perception is irrelevant to reality.

Reality is a spook also

Everything is a spook to you.

True

In reality, you are the spook.

I own myself

So nah

What makes you so sure about that?

I can be changed though

Everyone can be.

I am myself because i work in my own self-interest

What if you don't know what's in your own interests?

Long term i possibly don't know

I know you don't.

Which means you don't own yourself.

But short term, my actions will benefit myself in some way

If you don't know what benefits you, your actions are more likely to hinder you.

Then i can change my self-interest to adapt to the situation

If your interests change, then you never improve or own yourself.

You would sooner shift the goalposts than learn to score goals.

Even if you shift the goal, it's no guarantee that you'll ever score.

If it works in favor of what i currently believe in it helps

What do you believe?

Someone who doesn't know their own interests has no beliefs.

In reality, your beliefs are the governing dynamic of your interests.

I believe in bettering myself

Morality is to ethics as beliefs are to interests.

You don't know how to better yourself.

You lack conviction.

If i believe it helps me it does

Heroine addicts believe drugs help them.

And they do, in the moment it is achieving how they want to feel

But addicts let the drugs own them

Instead of owning the drugs

Just like you let ignorance own you.

You're ok with not knowing what you want.

That's all because you don't have what you need.
