Selfish because single. Single because happy. Selfish because happy?

Is there any point in living alone with nobody to take care of, to be loved by and in general with nobody to live for? As a rule it is believed that one's happiness can be genuine only if you share it with others. Most people have an opinion that the sense of life consists in making others happy or in taking care of them, anyway, we live to be of some use for others, which is the most human thing. Otherwise our life shouldn't be regarded as one that is worth living. Really, what else must a person live for?

Thinking this way we are likely to come to a conclusion that those whom we call happy singles are people living for themselves, not for others. Doesn't it mean that singles are selfish? But there are people who are single just because they haven't got spare time they could allow themselves to waste on anybody else? It is a question of those who continue being singles (probably all their lives long) in order to develop theories, to make discoveries and so on. Do they belong to an exception from "selfish singles"? We don't seem to have a right to judge them because all of them lived not for some particular person, but for countries, for nations when also for the entire humanity. There are very many singles among famous scientists, noble painters or no matter whom else.

Freedom and independence, are the two most romantic words we usually associate being single with. And whatever people said, some singles are able to enjoy life as nobody can do it. May you call them selfish snobs, egoists or people suffering from anthropophobia and with other possible insulting words like that, you won't change anything and they will still belong to the category of few people able to be happy!
