    That humans aren’t born selfish. They are. If you aren’t selfish, you don’t cry when you are hungry and you don’t get enough to eat. People learn that not being selfish can be valuable as they grow.

      Idk if I’d say a baby crying because it’s hungry is a display of selfishness. It’s the only way they can communicate, and they aren’t able to help themselves. I will say however that I don’t think selfishness is inherently a bad thing and many people if not everyone does display some form of it.
