Not all but many of them are. It's very human nature. You can not deny it. If human nature would not have been like this then this world would be a much better place. But as we can see no one really thinks about others. All we need is for ourselves. Human nature is very self centric.

I believe humans have wants.while there is nothing wrong with having wants,these may drive a person to be selfish.there is nothing wrong with wanting to have more money.what is wrong is when you are selfish with your money and wouldn't help a friend or family member in need.there is nothing wrong with having wants,but being selfish about these wants may drive a person to do something bad.

Hi, all humans have this selfishness somewhere within them in my opinion, it's just a matter of how you see and interprets it's degree. Like for example, I work to feed myself and my family, definitely I'm not sweating out there to earn money for my neighbor or for just somebody who is sick in the hospital whom I don't even know, it's not selfishness I think.

Hello Chester and welcome to my lot. No not all humans are selfish. But there are a lot of humans that are selfish. Some people care more about others then they do themselves, I know I have met many people that take pride in helping others. But then I have met many people that can only think of themselves and nothing else matters to them. My sister in law is like this, she will lie to get what ever she wants no matter whom it hurts.The people that don't give a hoot about anyone else I don't think they know God very well. I think God put us here to help our fellow humans! Hope you find some good in people around you! Have a great day!
