Mommy please can't I be both. I've watched so many movies about hit men that I think it looks like a lot of fun, to get to do both.
I mean these movies sell, and Netflicks is full of them, it must mean folks love this stuff.
I don't just want to judge and be selfish, I want to fucking kill.
Maybe being a soldier would be better?,  then I can judge, & kill, and be selfish by enjoying the respect I get for being a patriot.
Now a days there are even tough girl soldiers to harass; it sounds like a win win to me!
And best of all if I manage to be in the right place at the right time in a foreign country, I just might get to do a little torture of the dumb bastards that dared to fuck with my country. The slower I can do it the better. Maybe better than sex, I'm excited already.
Can't beat being both selfish and judgmental.




Theres sarcasm here but I dont know what the sarcasm is.

(I think he's insinuating that the question is rather inane).

if a person watches out for their own well being, that is not at all the same as being selfish.

if a person tends to watch out for their own well being, they probably would also watch out for others in a similar way.

I think you are into the right direction with your comment, but dragging the word 'selfish' antonymously.




There's a difference between being selfish and being "so selfish". In the context of the various connotations one might say regarding a particular situation that a person should be a little more selfish or is too selfish. Everyone is selfish to some degree unless you know someone who is selfless. Not much point in a semantic argument if we both understand one another though.

I do find the concept of selflessness interesting though. Are there selfless people? Or are there selfless acts, which some people commit more often than others?

only acts are selfless,
people commit them.

this can be assessed afterwards,
were it premeditated it would not be done selflessly
