If you think about it, you can not possible survive if you are not bad. If you never take, you will die. For example if you always give your food away out of selflessness, you will die.

You are presuming that to live is somehow useful and good in and of itself, for its own sake.
Moreover, you are assuming that one needs to take in order to feed oneself.
In addition, you are forgetting that God feeds us, and that whatever we give to others will be given back to us in due measure by God.
Plus "Man cannot live by bread alone."

The time is comming, that time is now. Before the Universe you must take a bow. The Lord sits upon the Egg of Power, gazing below from the Watchtower, waiting for the Hatching hatch hour-by-hour, to unleash upon the Earth a firey shower. Breathing life with fire, high upon the throne, the Universe is lone, the one Empire. It will posses one man if the need be dire. He shall scorch the earth with flames and gasses. Death and suffering let be by the masses, let flow through the land like cold molasses. Hope is for those who abandon what's now. Listen to me and I'll show you how. There is no god and there is no devil. The Dragon is on a higher level. Follow him now and you will be saved, for the road to eternity will be paved.

Selfless people never die; death is the fortune of the selfish ones.
Every child is selfish, he does not want to give anything to his friends and even to his siblings. If he is deprived of a proper education, his selfishness will increase with the time, he fears poverty, he fears death, he fears everything.
The Messengers of God teach about selflessness and show bright examples about this lesson. Buddha abandoned the throne, Christ and the Bab offer their lives. And They live from eternity to eternity.
This is the difficult lesson to take and to follow, except for a small number of pure souls who fully trust Them and become Their followers such as Ananda, Peter, Tahirih...
It is greed that is killing mankind and leading most men to misery. When more people turn to the Messengers of God to learn the lesson of selfless love, the world will become prosperous, peaceful, civilized. Not all mankind would wake up at once, but we gradually realize the truth one by one.
This lesson is not only written in a few hundred pages of the Bhagavad Gita or the Upanishad; it is written in hundreds of other Holy Books and especially in every drop of blood of the Divine Messengers.
People, who think that they are all knowing, waste their lives in expressing their limited knowledge for or against other people.
Humble men, bow down before the Messengers of God to drink the drops of wisdom from Their mouths and gradually transform their lives. And these men become stepping stones for higher and higher civilizations.
Please turn to the Messengers of God to get our proper education.

Are you concerned that sometimes taking care of yourself is bad?
Seems to me that "good and bad" in general are about how we treat other people. (Like, lots of people who think they're 'good' come here to toss around insults.)
But you're right, we can also treat ourselves badly. We can deny ourselves TOO much. Sacrifice too much. Then we make ourselves into victims. And then, we can constantly think of ourselves first, and never concern ourselves with others.
So, I think, the "good" is in between. In the best possible world, we all take care of each other and ourselves. Until then, we keep working at it.

well this means your exaggerating a bit. being good is to give some of your stuff but not all because by that you will be bad to your self but giving a good amount and leaving a good amount is considered the best

is it "bad" to sustain yourself?
would it be "bad" to continue living, rather than kill yourself so that others might use the resources you would have otherwise used...?
wouldnt that be considered being "bad" to yourself?
i dont think that helping yourself is "bad"... so no, i think its POSSIBLE to survive without being bad.. I just doubt that anyone is actually able to life an entire life without being "bad" even once..
