Is it right to think single women selfish because they look after number one?

It is generally accepted to think that a person is worthy if she or he is of some use for others. A real mother should be a mother that takes care of her loved children, a real husband is a husband that loves his wife and does everything for her, people are humane if they have somebody to live for and to take care of. And on the contrary, people are usually regarded as selfish and useless ones if they are always looking only after their own interests.

It follows as a logical consequence that single women and men who live for nobody but themselves can seem to be just selfish existences. Is it true?

Nowadays we can meet a lot of attractive but single women who refuse to get married and prefer being single because they value their freedom most of all. That is why they refuse men's offers of marriage and stay single. Somebody can say that single women like that are of no use to anybody, but on the other hand is there anybody they do any harm to?

Is it so awful when a woman doesn't want to establish a family just because she will feel really happy if she lives alone? Single women want to be happy, then why should they try to change themselves and become like other people? After all, very few of us know exactly where they can find happiness and harmony and even fewer people are able to achieve it.

Actually, all of us have to live in society and if a person expects the society they live in to acknowledge him or her, they certainly have to adjust to it, following its rules and meeting its main requirements. It is hardly possible to find your place in society without taking other people's interests into consideration. However the question is whether it is necessary for a person to live for others or not? Maybe it is enough for people to be just happy no matter whether one is single and lives for oneself or one shares happiness with others?
