In my life sometimes I behaved selfish to get what I what. In this competitive world, I don'rt think it is possible to live without selfishness. Sometimes being selfish is for good cause. Is being selfish is wrong?

You can`t share when you don`t have the capacity to share

If we have limited opportunities there is a possibility for being selfish to grab the opportunity.

@Sathyabo How can you share with others when you also need it?

It is not wrong to be selfish sometimes but it is wrong when you are selfish all the time.

Yes. Being selfish for a good cause is not wrong. But one should not behave selfish all time.

We can all be selfish for some reasons. We can be selfish both in good and bad ways depending on the situation I guess. We're not perfect,we're just human but we can be cautious enough in our selfish acts.

i think it is human nature to be selfish, but we can make this turn around by doing better with what we have.

I think it depends on the degree of selfishness.

Yes, selfishness is wrong and displeasing to God. He wants to be unselfish and loving! We ali make mistakes and God wants to do our best to do the right things. I hope that helps!

@Sathyabo Yes, it's very rare! Remember that in Noah's day only 8 people got into the ark.

I used to tell my kids that sometimes it is ok to be selfish. But most of the time you should share.

Somehow and somewhere we may selfish but we also need to see that by it no one harm or no one faces trouble. My guru always said most tough thing is to leave what you love to do and if you can able to do it then you have all kinds of power to accept any situation and in short, keep happy others.

I guess it depends on who else is impacted by your selfishness. If you're hurting others, then it probably isn't a good thing.

I don't think I was selfish to gain at another's cost. I did my best at the workplace and at home with a sense of fairness. That attitude has stood me well. If you are fair in your dealings and look after your interests, it is not selfishness as per me.

I think, it's a choice. A decision to do good or to do bad or be indifferent.

Too much selfies can be bad for you. Your privacy will be interrupted by your self-sufficiency in social media.

It is, in truth, not a competitive world. There is enough for each one of us. The competition was coined by the greedy as a mindset, for vested interests. UBUNTU!

You do it often, it bites back and has consequences. I know because I've been like that in some parts of my life..
