Egoistic, egotistic, self-centered, self-absorbed, selfish, call it what you will. How do they make you feel, and more importantly why? If they annoy you, why? Is there anything wrong with selfishness?
If you believe in external, absolute morality, you're in luck, because you can explain your feelings. You can always say selfishness is wrong, that is why it hurts people.
But if you adhere to the idea that only the fittest survive, selfishness of others should not bother you one bit. You should accept it as a positive value and wish them well. After all they only do what they have been conditioned to do. Moreover, you should strive in life to become stronger and ensure your survival through selfish acts.
Any thoughts on this?
