Is it ok to be selfish on the path to your dreams if your dream is an altruistic one?
-By Cameron Hamlet


 -I find this question to be very interesting. I would have to say the answer lies wit the person and how far they are willing to go to pursue their dreams. A dream is a goal or an object that someone wishes to attain. Everybody has dreams and everybody wants to achieve them. The question one must ask is 'what is one willing to do to achieve ones dreams?" A dream usually makes someone happy and is desirable, would one not  wish to then do everything in one's power to achieve it? Also, the American way and culture is stereotypically created so one can pursue one's dreams. Therefore it is not bad to pursue dreams. So, if to achieve ones goals is highly desirable, and is morally acceptable, the only thing that could stop one from achieving it is one's conscience.
As long as one does not break any personal or social mores, then one will not have done anything morally impermissible.
