The Nature of Selfishness
by What is the root of selfishness? Is it innate or learned?
"The pressure to get into the college of your choice is incredible. You know, they did a study recently of the youth in Bosnia during the bombing, and they found that the stress the young people experienced there was less than what American high- school students go through when applying to college."
If that is not one of the best representations of how poisonous and how ridiculously driven down dead ends we are as part of our daily lives then I honestly do not know what is. We aren’t made to be selfish, we are made to love and to need love.

All that need, to be like everyone else, stems from those who follow greed. They manipulate and convince people that they HAVE TO HAVE this or that to be somebody, when the bottom line is that all these kids stressed out to go to college are REALLY making profits for those who will gain from the numbers paying the college tuition. The selfish are those who feed off the gullibility of the many. It’s called “CAPITALISM”
