One has to be selfish before he could be selfless...
Natural man jud na pre, for a person to be selfish--kai gusto man jud na ang tao--anyone--in any society and in any time--to get something to benefit him/herself so as to propel him/herself in his/her society, diba? Kinsa man dili gusto maka profit--or maka succeed? Kinsa man gusto ma poordoy sa kalingaw? Human nature man na, in my opinion.
It is the concept of human morality and ethics--when a person chooses to repress his selfish needs and instead of caring for himself first---considers the people and society around him as prime directive.
@ Frank. Good point--and I do agree, there are ALOT of people out there that only live for 'ME/ MYSELF/ I'. I personally abhor people with those kinds of attitudes and ethos, as I've come into contact with many in my life, already.
