Hi mylotters. I was wondering today that "Is being selfish a good or bad thing?" I mean at some point in our lives we all have been selfish for ourselves i.e. not in a way causing harm to anybody but still into the choices we make in life, sometimes are made by only thinking about ourselves.
I personally try to remain as selfless as possible, but at certain times I do think about myself if it impacts my peace of mind or health.
What do you guys think about it? Do share your experiences if any.

You're right. The Premises of selfishness is not to hurt others.

SElf love is sometimes mistaken to be selfishness, but it is no so.
Every person has the right to take care of himself, defend or protect himself. Sometimes, people will call you selfish because you did not give them something which belongs to you. But every person has the right to decide what he should or should not give. There are people who give more than three fourth of their salary to the family but they will be called selfish because they did not give 90% of the salary.
Some old people will be considered selfish because they do not give their property to children while they are alive. But why should they? Old people have their rights. There is no need for them to will their property in childrens name. Once they pass away, the property anyway will go to the child.

I think being selfish is one of the human nature, so it's ok to be selfish unless it hurts somebody else.
