selfishness – There are 2 types of selfishness
1. (you are not separate from an action) where we take in everything, all experience allowing all to flow through us and returning everything back into to the world through love.
“True and ideal selfishness consists in always watching over and restraining the soul. So that our productiveness can come to a beautiful termination.” – Friedrich Nietzsche
2. all for myself (even when myself is not an individual) where one hungers after something without thought of the consequences of having it. To simply steal and take something even when there is no need for that thing, it is when we define who we are by things. With attachment and disregard. i.e. war, nationalism – this can also be self-indulgence
