A lot of people could care less about others, and are downright mean spirited.

it is a human quality for self sustaining ability to survive. Society is not an ultimate pedistal for trust of survival, the ultimate pedistal of trust of survival...is you. Only you can trust yourself truly and survive therefore...and this is what society calls selfish.

just because the sun made us that way. Ra brought life into our bodies and that which surrounds us and gave us meaning to live, which we defined ourselves.

That is your opinion, so what else can I add other to say that we all have our own opinions of this subject.

You have already decided your solution as you have stated in your opening sentence of this thread.

You think it's a good thing that people choose to be selfish? I think it sucks.

Why are you selfish to others, is it because they are selfish to you?

But you seem to be upset at those that are what makes you feel that they are selfish but you aren't?

Know thyself.

Know thyself.

Do you?

Why?
08-29-07, 03:24 PM
Of course. That's how I know I'm not selfish.

What are you then, giving?

If someone asks, yes.

Will you give me some money then?:D

Why?
08-29-07, 03:29 PM
No. It's not good for your soul. Sorry.

I have no soul, so give me some money if you are such a giving person.;)

Why?
08-29-07, 03:32 PM
I meant soul metaphorically. Again, no money for you. It will only corrupt you.

I'm already corrupt so that's no excuse. You're just selfish!

Why?
08-29-07, 03:44 PM
If you are already corrupt, then more money won't help you.

cosmictraveler

It helps pay the bills and keeps me in comfort, but you won't give me any so you are selfish just as I have said before.:shrug:

"Man does not live on bread alone." Another Jesus quote.

Another quote that a man wrote down just to keep the believers faithful to their religious ways. Again I will try to make you understand that there was no one around taking notes as to what Jesus said when he was alive. If so they would have known where he went and what he did but they don't know because they only tell of his story starting at 33.

Notes? You expect a reporter to write the Bible?

I expect a man or many men and a few women wrote the bible. They did this so they could control people as they MADE MONEY!

There will always be exploitive greedy people. But, that doesn't mean the Bible was written by them.

If it wasn't written by men and women, who then did write it?

So you're so selfish you won't let someone else follow their own path to whatever...?
Pah.

"Man does not live on bread alone." Another Jesus quote.

ofcourse not, he needs water and oxygen aswell. plus something other than bread to eat. he turned water into wine, and other crap into bread and fish. i mean what a lame miracle, he could have atleast turned something into some jerk chicken and the water into some fruit juice. i bet it wasnt even decent wine.



peace.
