Everything a human being does, assuming they are sane, is selfish if you break it down far enough.

Terms like bad and good are subjective, so I would say there definitely is such a thing... it's just different depending on who you talk to. There certainly are some situations or actions where a general consensus could be formed on whether something is good or bad.

And to answer the OP, I am a good person. I try to be a positive influence on everything around me, and while I'm not always sucessful, trying is all anyone can do.
