Fair enough. I don't consider selfishness to be either good nor bad. For me, it is part of being an individual and realizing that you're the only person who is going to be with you for your entire life. If you can't "get along" with yourself or do things that make your own life better.... who will? Of course, any trait taken to an extreme can be detrimental. Selfishness to the exclusion of empathy or considerations of others can be harmful to everyone involved. No one is an island.
