Most humans are selfish and there is nothing wrong with this. Otherwise, you would see everyone sponsoring as many children as they could. People care most about themselves, and I don't see anything wrong with this.

Hey, it looks silly, but it's a good rhetorical device if you want to get a bunch of questions off the table real quick in order.

Don't forget.

I would probably take Pro's side in the topic but I would also add that I believe altruism can be reached by purely selfish means.
