Not my thoughts but society’s. For the “selfishness” think of it as, instead of being altruistic? Or doing something for others’ benefit, it’s self-serving. Especially if the hobby isn’t financially lucrative it’s seen as not spending time to serve society’s economy.

I don’t even know myself about the “greediness”, it’s coming from society, not my thoughts.

All I want is a private utopia vacuum just enough for myself. But I’m NOT selfish, it’d be nice if everyone else also had theirs, it’d be much better if everyone just follows their self-interests, that way no one is bothered. By self-interests I mean normal hobbies and desires, I don’t condone anything that threatens anyone’s peaceful lives.
