Well, I was trying to give selfishness a new dimension and portray as a virtuous trait

Was a joke =/

Approving an article of the alt of an ex reporter..? Hmm..

Well it is indeed morally justified. I'm trying to bring forth a different viewpoint towards selfishness altogether. I'm not saying that selfishness is a bad thing, it can be good thing and that's precisely the reason why we're discussing the Virtue of selfishness.

True indeed! The dance of death unites all but one

Be gentle, spread love and you'll never get in fights :)

That's precisely the point, I'm not talking of selfishness in the conventional sense. At the end of the day, the charitable individual may have done what s/he did to feel good about him/herself regardless of the number of people s/he may have helped.

Going by the definition, altruism is the disinterested and selfless concern for others. So what I feel is that even when we do something "selfless", we do it for the gratification of the self. Quite often, we do something good because we want to feel good about ourselves. This is where I believe that even good acts can be selfish acts because the individual is after all concerned with how s/he feels. Whenever an action concerns the individual, it becomes a selfish act.

Well, I meant is what are the character traits one would associate to a charitable person?

They examples I probably gave aren't great but I just wanted to see what's the opinion among people here. I'm not talking of the basic physiological needs that one needs to fulfill to survive. The very reason I've titled this topic "The Virtue of Selfishness" is question the general attitude towards selfishness. Now tell me one thing, what's your opinion of people donating to charity?

Greetings folks! I know that you do not come across s nd I decided to share it with this community. It was after the debate that I decided to have a read at this book by Ayn Rand titled "The Virtue of Selfishness." Right from our childhood, we are taught that selfishness is a highly negative character trait and we are told that are actions must never be selfish. Ever since the debate and since I started reading this compilation of essays, I've been thrown into dilemma. The social definition of selfishness is that of a vile person with total disregard for others and will go to any extent to fulfill his/her wishes and desires. On the other hand, the dictionary suggests that selfishness is giving priority to one's own interest. Speaking of interests, they can be highly variable among individuals. For example, I maybe interested in going for a movie while my friend is interested in attending a party. If I persuade my friend to come along with me, I'm clearly placing my interests above his, thus being selfish. Moving on to the next example; I'm in a rush to get home and then I come across a blind person trying to cross the road. Looking at the person, I feel terribly sorry and I help the person cross the road. In this case, my actions stemmed from the guilt of what I have and what another person is deprived of. The underlying reason of my actions was to overcome my guilt and therefore my actions had the sole purpose of self gratification. Now the questions that arise are; 1. Is it really bad to be selfish? 2. What is a selfless action and when have we been truly selfless? Looking forward to your opinion!

Please define being a man.

Thank you!In-game multigun formats.

It's a pity that while societies claim to be egalitarian towards both genders, sexual objectification runs rampant and is far more demeaning in the case of women. In my opinion, it's also the root cause of gender violence.

Gay men can also use this topic

I could start a massive political debate but then it's not allowed on this forum.

Never seen one so can't really believe in it. When my father was my age, he went to graveyards regularly and spent nights there hoping to see a ghost someday which he never did. He's tried his best looking for ghosts and he's never been able to see one so he doesn't believe in them. I personally had hoped ghosts existed hoping that I could see some people again but I've never seen one yet.

The arcade team member,

Thanks to the little arguments that sparked off here which snowballed into debates.

There have been many, not just 1. Though it happens a lot more on the Russian side. Though what I have to say is that the world is gradually becoming a global village where cultural and geographical barriers are gradually being broken. I'm pretty sure people who met each other and later get into a relationship or marriage, for them their Tanki marriage was perhaps just a way of thanking the game.
