Egoism

Egoism Egoism There is no word more generally misinterpreted than the word egoism, in its current use. In the first place, it is supposed to mean devotion to self-interest, without regard to the interest of others or selfishness. It is the complete opposite to altruism, the devotion to others and sacrifice of self. Psychological egoism is a reflex that every person has to orient themselves toward their own welfare. Through this, it shows that every one of their voluntary actions causes some good to oneself. If someone gives away the last piece of bread to someone else, it is because they want to look like a better person. This is due to the fact that they would give away the last piece of bread. The idea of being selfish is a vague concept that also requires further thought. When one takes the last piece of bread, they are considered selfish. However, some people believe that this is should only be true if the individual who takes the bread has already eaten a large portion of the meal. And, an individual would not be considered selfish if they had hardly eaten anything. selfish, being, action, person, out, good, every, egoism, bread, act, way, voluntary, trouble, toys, self-interest, self-gratification, psychological, piece, people, others, one, motivation, man, last, individual, happiness, friend, word, unselfishness, thought, themselves, takes, someone, should, personal
