Pursuit of self interest is not selfishness. Life is a game (with high stakes) in which everyone must play to win. Nothing wrong with that. I play to win. Selfishness is cheating at the game. Metaphorically, unselfish people are normal cells. Selfish people are cancer cells. As an activist, I am metaphorically a white blood cell.
whut?
Snowflakes usually melt instantly when I get my hands on them.
instantly sounds painless.
that's no fun.
No. There is much pain. I am sadistic when it comes to selfish people who wander into range.
Have you ever read the book 'the virtue of selfishness'?
guess not.
We're SO lucky to have you safeguard the morals of our society.

Normal cells like me. Cancer cells do not.
