The key to happiness

[Guest]

Ive heard that as well, but how can you cant rid of the I ? I mean, if you dont take into account that you are an I, than yes you will have no thoughts like "I want this" or "I want that" but you also lose the responsibility of being a concious being like "I should be nicer" "I should help others" "I should be more creative"

How about thoughts like "I want to paint more", is it egotistical, in a bad way, to want to be creative, or is it only negative when your desires are materialistic ?

*by the way, "I" love conversing about Existentialism
