Why should one get over one's selfishness?
- asveikau 7y agoSelfishness will cause you anxiety and guilt. It will cause pain to others. It will make you a jerk. A society of jerks inflicting pain thrives less than one where we are appropriately empathetic and charitable to others. If you're going to argue against selfless empathy, etc. I suggest we have different axioms and this is not a discussion that will go well.
