Is it okay to be selfish?

Recommended Posts

And if someone by nature is rewarded from helping others, does that in turn make the desire and the act of helping people a selfish act?

Personally I am selfish on alot of things... and I think that is okay. It makes me happy to provide others with needs and sometimes it makes me happy to do things for myself where no one else benefits from it but myself.

See the first post



Thats not a good example considering when I am selfish it has to do with skydiving and since I still do not have a complete rig and less then a 100 jumps in a year and a half Id say Im not overly selfish. Although I do find joy in buying stuff for my kids and doing things for my S.O.

No it isn't ok to be selfish. Selfishness is a contagious disease.

To do a good deed for a reward is not selfless. In fact it is probably more selfish than to not get involved at all..

Right thought, right speach, right action.



he doesn't want to shag you.

If the only actions taken in life were those without at least some selfish reasons, very little would ever occur.



See he wants to shag you but is hedging his bets to stay in with da brotherhood.

So then the answer is no, its not cool to be selfish as that is stacked one way with no balance. I think shes gone Shrops, I hope it wasn't something I said.

Assuming we make our own choices for our own reasons, by definition we are selfish. Nothing wrong with that.

ah HA, you 'enjoy' it. Pretty darn selfish, especially when using the family bank account.

I agree, but some think it is unselfish to do that. Esp since I am still in some of the same clothes I myself wore a decade ago. So does it make it bad that I am selfish? I personally dont think so. Because my selfishness does not get in the way of my families happiness nor does it inflict harm on anyone
