Humanitys Purpose?

[balthier]

He likes to have a big anime collection and he's horny alot :p so how does this keep him from doing good deeds for others? Its not bad to want things in life and its still possible to care for others. Of course it would be great if everyone spend all their energy on making the world a better place but its just not like that and I highly doubt that you have no selfish qualities or you wouldn't be on an anime stores forum.

I'm very materialistic but that car crash you described is how I would react and actually have reacted in the past. I'm very in control of my emotions. Anger never leads to a positive result.

I do agree that selfishness is one of the biggest world problems and mainly the people who want power for themselfs but that can't be comparred to us individuals wanting nice clothes or a nice car.

Well, yea individuals have ROOM for selfishness lol. But if a person devotes themself to presidency, if that person takes as much free time as any normal person he becomes selfish because doing so would hurt others. However, selfishness like "I want all my anime now" (which i have stated before lol) and things like that will lead you to react negatively when someone accidently imposes on you, whether it be hitting your car bumper or someone running and knocking into you on accident, if you are used to being selfish you're gonna act selfishly in certain situations that could hurt others.

It is possible to seperate the two, like when you're out in public you're selfless and when you're in your room secluded with anime you can be as selfish as you want. I'm just saying the MORE selfish a person is the more likely they will disrupt things in a situation when it will only cause harm.

Let me put it this way. If you are selfless enough to let the dog outside so his bladder don't explode during your favorite anime scene, well then ya might not react selfishly when something bad happens to you.
