How difficult is it to not be a selfish person? To try to be true to your own needs, while allotting a certain amount of yourself for the needs of others? I worry about the world because it seems like, almost universally, it seems like selfish impulses are what drive people. But isn't it an integral aspect of the term "humanity" to shed some of that self-interest for the greater good? So, as a species, are we simply becoming inhumane? At what point does that create a callousness that leads to the negation of our existence?
