What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?
Some people are selfish. I think its a bad trait. I don’t understand it. Why do they think it’s OK? I trying to get into their mindset. They might not have much themselves, so they have to scrimp and save. But others in the same situation might be more generous, partly because they have been bought up to share. I think children can struggle if there is not enough to go round, so they try and keep what they can to themselves…
Selfishness blankets a feeling of empathy. Stifles understanding other peoples needs. Gives an excuse not to be considerate. Selfishness, taken to extremes stops any thought of less well off people, making excuses when it’s obvious that help is needed. On today’s parlance scrolling past charities and blaming the poor for their situation, calling them undeserving.
Selfishness is unfair and can be cruel, uncaring and without merit.

Absolutely agree! Selfishness does seem to dim the light of empathy. Understanding others’ needs and sharing, even in scarcity, builds a richer world. Let’s foster a culture of generosity and compassion. What are your thoughts on cultivating empathy in a self-centered world?
