qotd: a deep one but do you think humans are inherently selfish? imo i think we are and even if you say you aren't that is still kind of selfish. everyone is somewhat selfish even if it is small
humans arent inherently anything, but we all experience some form of selfishness as a result of the world we are socialized into. like with any emotion or trait there is a spectrum, and what others may perceive as selfish may not seem selfish to ourselves. we're all just complicated like that i guess <3
I would say that it always depends on the circumstances the person has gone through. Yes, most of us are very selfish but some have experienced things that have made them selfless.
But then again, overall I would say that most humans are selfish without a doubt. But it doesnāt have to mean that selfishness is bad. Sometimes itās good, sometimes itās not.
Everything in this world depends on somebodyās views of the world, the moralities some have while some donāt, the circumstances and so on if that makes sense
(I have a feeling like none of what I said makes sense but yāall gotta live with it)
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
I'd say humans are selfish, this actually reminds me of a concept i learned in philosophy about psychological egoism where every human action is done out of selfish intent, everyone is a lil selfish
