If you love your self a little bit more, is it a mistake if this will means a lifetime lesson for those who think you are just being selfish? Do we need to sacrifice what is supposed to be for our own just for the sake of giving way to our loved-ones want and pleads?

I dont think ts wrong to be a little selfish some times and I feel we all do it and may not be aware of it . I sometimes dont like sharing my friends with my other friends lol . I dont think I will give away something I need even to a family member .

It's sometimes good to be selfish. When people always depend on us that's not doing them any good. They have to stand on their own feet. It's good to give but not forever. Happy myLotting!

Actually no one is not selfish.But we live in this world,we have to pursue our own goal,do not try to hurt other people,just remeber to be nice,i suppose you still feel great to get along with so many people.But not all people will not under control.

Being selfish is nothing wrong in my opinion if that enriches my life. However, overlooking the interests of people around us completely and trying to fulfill our desires will not get us very far eventually. We need to show our care for others as we live in a society and without the betterment of the community we cannot be very successful in life as individual beings.

In my view we should not be selfish. We must give to our children whatever we can. we must tell our colleagues whatever we know so that company will benefit.

Loving ourselves more is just normal. It's not really being selfish at all. But I also think that we must give something to our loved ones too.

Nothing wrong about that. Sometimes we need time for ourselves to think just about "me" and what is best for "me". Selfish for yourself for sometimes can be definite as loving and care about yourself, is it wrong to take care on yourself? NO.

You know, I also ask myself the same question from time to time. But, if I look at the good things I've done for my family and loved ones, it makes me feel better to treat myself sometimes. Afterall, it's your hard work and what better way to show that you also love yourself, than rewarding yourself with a good prize.

I think to some extent selfish is human's instinct,it is very common,but it is harmful,we must usually consider for others,if necessary,even sacrifice ourselves.

NO it is not always wrong to be this way. I think when it is at the expense of someone you care about then it can be classified as "wrong". Life from a child's perspective his sister has some candy and he has none nad she is selfish and doesn't share. That's kind of mean. But anyway. In a way we need to be selfish other wise we won't learn to love ourselves too. We need to take time for ourselves or we will be ragged and tired all of the time. So when you need to, it is important to be "selfish".

if you always selfish then you are definitely wrong but if just sometimes it is definitely not wrong.we are as a person must have a lot of what we want to do at life.so sometimes if we rather selfish doing what we want to that is okay.but we have to remember that we are a social creature so we can not always doing selfish thing and abandon everyone else
