Hey guys, I'm back! After reading around, it looks to me like the other topics are a little too hot right now, so I'm making my own. What do ya guys think? Are all humans, by instinct, selfish?

It is said that selfishness is part of human nature; however, that is stereotyping and is not always true.

And are you trying to tell me that you started two identical debates without knowing it?

No, we had this debate in the "Christianity vs. Evolution" thread.

true that humans can stay selfish, but not every human is naturally always selfish.

Actually, it's a good thing people are at least a little selfish. That is why most people actually eat when they are hungry. Seriously.

Yeah, selfishness has become a natural habit.
If you are selfish and you have a baby, will the selfishness pass on?

You eat because you don't like having an empty stomach feeling.

selfishness comes to everyone even before they are born

and 42 having an empty stomach isn't selfish its your instinct
