That is an excellent damn question! I adjust a bit though and say that it is not just selfish, but rather horribly corrupt selfishness: Every man, woman and child for him or herself and we are choking one another with selfishness. The thing about this selfishness we see today is that it's backed up by greed and greed s ugly no matter how one tries to justify it. We are also destroying our planet and children's future with selfishness.
