so is everyone selfish?.... i have had this conversation many times before and come to the same conclusion.... no not everyone is selfish and practically no one is completely selfish.... i only need one thing to prove my argument.... there are many occassions in whish people sacrifice their own life for another person's... this can not be conceived as self serving in any manner, (and feel free to prove me wrong) which proves that not everyone is selfish.  and there is hardly anyone that doesn't exhibit some act of generosity to another person at some point in their life.... basically proving almost no one is completely selfish
