“Selfish people are in a hurry to get happiness and do not pause to consider the happiness of others.”
— George Eliot

Simplified Meaning:
People who are only focused on their own pleasure often try to get it quickly without thinking about how their actions affect others. Imagine someone who cuts in line at the grocery store because they want to save time. They get what they want faster, but they upset everyone else waiting. This kind of behavior shows they care more about their own happiness than about being fair or kind. In real life, being considerate of others and waiting your turn can build better relationships and create a happier environment for everyone. Taking the time to think about others' feelings can lead to deeper and more meaningful connections.
