well i care about a lot of people more then my own self. so in that sense i wouldnt be selfish but since there happiness makes me happy does that make me selfish? its a kind of paradox really. i do not however think we're all wicked. jsut because we try to make ourselves happy instead of tohers at times doesnt make us wicked in the least.
Not everyone is selfish and wicked. At times, maybe, but not always.
I am selfish sometimes and do terrible things ocassionally but I always do my best to help people whenever I can. Heck, I raised $3000 for charity over the course of 5 years. And I'm only 15.
Hitler was just misunderstood.
Thats my attitude to life...you stole it! Give it back! :mad2:Quote:

Well, not all the time but sometimes...:p I have to confess that I'm selfish/self centered.;) You can't be selfless all the time. Sometimes you just have to be selfish- - or you get knocked down.:mog:
I firmly believe that absolutely everything you do in life, including supposed selfless acts, is for a selfish reason. There's always a way you can manage this. The easy one is "you want to gain approval in the eyes of others" or "you want to feel less guilty".
I'm at work right now because I selfishly want money. I am posting at a forum because I selfishly want people to talk to in order to make my time go faster. Everything and anything you do can be put down to selfish reasons, even if you don't like them or believe them, I can probably come up with them. :) I've had a lot of discussions about this one in the past, it's always fun coming up with the selfish reasoning for things such as people sacrificing themselves to save others and whatnot. xD
But in all seriousness, selfishness is not always a bad thing.
Screw the wicked bit, though. You can't tell me Ghandi was evil.
Oh dear no. I alway care and share with others. :bigsmile:
see christmas knows!
