It's kinda hard to live in our modern society and not eventually just say f*&k it and try to stop worrying about how unbelievably f^%ked up it all is.

This is where I'm at. At 36, I'm not young or old, but I see the above mentioned as the future, regardless of what I want. I have 4 children, 2 of them teenagers, and I have talked to them and said that I want them to grow up to be happy, that should be their goal. Being selfish is undoubtedly a part of that, but I told them you should never sacrifice others for your happiness, simply stated, don't lie, cheat or steal at the expense of others for your personal gains. Compete, and if you win, great. If not try again. Sometimes you get the job, make the team or win the scholarship, sometimes you don't.

It's a rather simplistic view of life, I admit.
