Yes. And the thing is, this is becoming more and more noticeable with our current society. Selfishness Itself doesn't have to be an inherently bad thing. However when people act selfishly to the detriment of others, and they do it willfully/intentionally/knowingly, they show that they also lack empathy for the people around them. They showcase a casual cruelty, because it is better that it is you and not them. You can act selfish and help someone because the act of recognition is what makes you feel good. Selfish, but also betterment to others. And then there are those as mentioned above, who look away. Who see the suffering and think, better you than me. Who might even join in and support the cruelty. Who go to bed telling themself it is better this way. I find those people to be the most spineless, pathetic, sheep mentality minded individuals. People who lack not only empathy for their fellow humans, but also lack integrity, critical thinking and are inheriently duplicious and not to be trusted. Sorry I rambled a bit too much there and lost the plot

this might make me sound stupid lol but i dont actually think selfishness is inherently a bad thing. yes, obviously a lot of bad things r done out of selfishness, but the trait itself is something that every single human (and most other creatures) possess, and it can actually be helpful. if everyone was so automatically selfless that they would die to save one another, then everything would kind of crumble. selfishness, in moderation, keeps people alive and keeps the world going. its like the airplane thing where u have to put on ur own mask before helping others, if everyone is a little selfish and looks out for themselves then everyone will (theoretically) be ok
