Toaster126: Selfishness isn't inherently bad, though in practice it very often is because it can place an emphasis on personal advancement over the welfare of others. What I meant there was that by focusing on selfish desires, I wasn't doing anything to atone for the harm I've done to others. The harm I've done to myself does not require repair or atonement, as I was the actor in those instances, so being selfish does nothing to balance past wrongs.
Again, please note that I apply this standard only to myself.
