Selfishness

It's something I see everyday.

There is a kid crying because he wants to play with a toy, and the  kid with the toy still doesn't want to give him the toy because he wants to play with it.

At that moment, the temporary pleasure of having what you want is more important than sacrificing and giving someone else the same pleasure.

We rather cut off someone's arm than cut our own. Give someone else pain if it means that we are comfortable.

Hello, Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans is soaked and the rich flew away. Familiar to the boat in the Titanic, the rich people were in boats waiting for a rescue crew. Waiting meant sitting around  hearing the gasps of desperation of their fellow men that they left behind. Hearing the sounds of the splash of men being thrown into the chilling frost-giving waters. Waiting meant hearing all the gasps and signs of life fading into a chilly, deathly silence. All this while they had space in the boat for more.

Selfishness, it's everywhere. In playgrounds, in relationships, in dealing with people, in guys who want to nut instead of making you go first.  Ah, and the list goes on.
