Selfish

When is it okay to be selfish? Is it ever?
I have these middle of the nights thoughts and the other night it came to me. Is it selfish to have all the knowledge in the world and not tell a soul because of what we would do with it?
It's kind of sad how you can make something with good intentions for humanity and you see the exact thing you created for good used for bad.
Is it that wrong to want to do everything for yourself and care just about yourself?
After having nothing is it that bad to want everything?
Aren't we programmed to survive for ourselves.
To have beauty and want to keep it for yourself, I think that's selfish but who are we to take what someone makes for our personal use. It's selfish how we profit from someones pain, but it is how we gain.

  1. In some situations, you do what is best for you. In that case I think it is okay to be selfish. It is important to care for yourself, but you shouldn't be real boastful or flambouyant. Being like that will get you in trouble and will make you look more like a jerk than anything.
