I`m not a selfish person but I am curious to know:

Is it wrong to be selfish? or Is it wise to be selfish?

Please explain your answer.



I wasn`t sure if this should be a poll or thread, so I`m sorry if I posted under the wrong category.

You might have to put the definition of selfish into context to get a reasonable response?

Concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself: Seeking or concentrating on one`s own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others. (Meriam Dictionary)

Narcissistic, egotistic, self-absorbed, self-centered, and self-serving are some examples.

So my question was aiming at is it a good thing to be like this? To always be looking out for oneself and taking care of oneself or not?

People were created to be loved
things were created to be used
the reason why the world is in chaos
is because things are being loved and
people are being used.
