You need your own space and time to do your personal things or just to have your personal silence time. It is true that life is not only about yourself but life is also not only about others.
You would want everyone in the world to be happy. But what if one day you realized that you are no longer the old you. You realized that you are braver compared to the old you. You voice out your minds and you act on the things you do.
Some are not happy but if things were pretty much better compare to previously then the change is very much worth it. Why stay in old school if the new one is better. After all technology means progressing and process is suppose to make things better.
