Can we talk about the fact that I have no desire to be a great person?

I was talking to my brother the other day about how sad it is that there are so many easily curable diseases that are killing so many people in developing countries.
"So, do something about it," he said because he's very gung-ho about all this social justice action stuff.
"Nah," I said.

I have told him about my plans to retire early and live in some greener pastures with my multiple dogs. I have very resolute intentions to do nothing but walk my dogs, eat good food, bake copious amounts of treats and write books.
"I could never do that," he said. "I'd be so bored. I'd feel like I wasn't doing anything meaningful."
"Well, damn..." I thought to myself. Is it wrong that I just want to coast through life and die happy?

My personal happiness is perhaps the most important thing in my own life. I'm a shit person, right?

In other news, I GOT CALLED FOR JURY DUTY. I squealed when I got the letter. Too bad that it's right before my exams so I'm going to have to defer (jury duty, not exams). I'm already having fantasies about a Veronica Mars-esque situation. I will be forewoman. Hear me roar.
