TV talk shows present us with an almost endless array of celebrities who tell us that greatest good in life is personal fulfillment. Many of us get the impression that wanting something or wanting to do something makes it right and that we have a right to pursue whatever we want regardless of the consequences for ourselves or others.
In an entitled essay explain why you believe that this notion of personal fulfillment is good or bad for both individuals and society.
