Why is it bad to be selfish?
Democracy, at least the way we know it in America, is based on selfishness. Our Constitution assumes people will be selfish... that's why the checks and balances system works. Because the Courts will be selfish enough to check the powers of the President and Congress, and ditto for the President and Congress. Our capitalist economy is also based on selfishness. Businesses produce and sell NOT to serve the common good, but to make money. Simple as that. This way, they all DO promote the common good through selfish competition that forces them to undercut prices and raise new innovations to help everyone. In Soviet Russia, they taught people it was wrong to be selfish and that they should always serve the greater good, and look where the Commies ended up. Being selfish is a perfectly good thing. It's actually hurting other people (i.e. unreasonable selfishness: stealing, killing, etc) that makes it bad. |
