Self-Gratification
1. the act of pleasing or satisfying oneself, especially the gratifying of one's own impulses, needs, or desires
Pleasure-seeking is a state that many find themselves in, consciously or not. This is not inherently bad in the moment if you are alone. But whenever you admit others into the mix, this becomes a very faulty motivation for behavior. Because most people are not mature enough to realize when their pleasure-seeking begins to impact others. Thus, groupthink from groups like this resemble groupthink from violent criminal organizations in the number of abuses that they create. One is simply more obvious than the other.
As a person who actually cares about other people, what would you choose? Would you choose to do the easy thing and gratify yourself, or would you do the right thing?
