Man Commits Suicide at DLH

innerSpaceman · 05-03-2008, 08:20 AM

All hedonism considered, I don't think self-interest is a bad thing. But the word "selfishness," I believe, tends to imply self-interest that purposefully hurts others in the process. I don't know where the moral ground is on that, but i find hedonists and others swankier if that hurtful brand of selfishness brings them no pleasure. And so selfishness would be to avoid selfishness, if you get my drift.
