It's selfish for me to want to keep the reward for my labor and give it to my children? It is not selfish at all to live your life for the sake of your loved ones. Perhaps we have different definitions of the word. It seems words can be defined as pretty much anything these days.

Not a different definition, just a different understanding. The people who think selfishness is bad don't want you to keep the reward of your labour, they want to re-distribute it, and they don't care about your family getting less, because it means they get more. Maybe you think being selfish is a negative thing, I don't.
Maybe "self interest" and "selfish" are subtly different, to me, they are fundamentally the same. Apologies, you seem offended by it. Keep doing what your doing, I shouldn't have commented.
No, you are right. I misunderstood and apologize. I have been running into a lot of people lately who are against private property and for redistribution.
lol me too
