These threads on selfish/selfless acts has me thinking about a concept i learned in school a while back called psycological egoism. Basically it states that human beings are inherintly selfish and that we only do things that give us something back in some shape or form. Thoughts? I agree with it, even Mother Theresa(God bless her) could be considered selfish because all of the good she did for people helped her get into heaven. The main argument against it is the soldier who jumps on the grenade to save the rest of his troup, but i happen to think that is more of a conditioning factor than a thought out decision. Anyway, you guys seem to be an educated bunch(politics aside...heh) whats your thoughts?
