Being Selfish Is Self-destructive In The Long Run.
People are stupid. When I do something selfish I actually do bad to myself. As innomen pointed out, I should define what I mean by selfish: Caring for oneself at the cost of others. Breathing is selfish somehow but usually no other is hurt by that.

I would have to agree. Sooner or later one who is selfish will have to hit rock bottom some how, by not thinking of others.

I agree with you, however, you run into trouble with the word selfish. People will take it to mean anything that is done out of self interest, which is everything. The word selfish has to have an agreed upon meaning of doing something out of self interest at the expense of someone or something else. In that light, it will damage you at some level at some point.

No. Real bounty in life comes from helping others. I sincerely hope you find this my friend....;-)

Only if you screw it up.

As long as you can pull it off, being focused on nothing but yourself and your own good all the time just gets you ahead in life.
