RE: Too much, too difficult?

in #philosophy8 years ago

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.
