Being selfish is human nature. Having an ego which drives us to accomplish things in life, our self-interest tends to be paramount. And rightfully so. If we don't look out for ourselves, perhaps nobody will. But if we don't look out for others, what are we? Get out of yourself. Get out of your ego. Give generously to others in every way possible. Be of service to others as best you can. Ironically, the more you give, the better you will feel about yourself. There are some who say that the more you give, the more you will receive. In the movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" there is a quote from Peter Bailey: "All you can take with you is what you have given away."
