We are all selfish, and that’s okay. You can be selfish and evil, and you can be selfish and good.
Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We think of a selfish person as one who is more interested in receiving than giving. But, when you give, how does that make you feel? Usually it makes you feel good. In fact, you will probably feel better giving than receiving. If it feels better to give than to receive, you will give more for that reason, and you will be doing it for selfish reasons.
Selfishness is neutral. You can be selfish and evil, or you can be selfish and good. It’s your choice.
