This can be particularly challenging, because a great deal of the way in which we perceive our universe attributes much to selfishness. And while there are certainly some tremendously selfish people out there, much of what people see as selfish is not. I want to begin with a broad definition of what selfishness is NOT. Selfishness is not taking
