Is selfishness good or wrong?
I usually see it used pejoratively, but it seems like there are a lot of actions which could be classified as technically selfish, but are neither destructive nor wasteful.




The right level of selfishness is hugely important. If you don't look after yourself first, you're of no use to anyone.
Partly it's being selfish that keeps you alive, there's nothing wrong with that.
Sometimes it's necessary for us to be selfish. If we're too selfless, it hurts us.
The ironic thing is, people who accuse you of being "selfish" are often being selfish themselves - such as calling you "selfish" for refusing to cancel your plans in order to do something for them.
