Me me vs we - a great obstacle to progress and growth of community

It is about getting better...

This post would like to think that selfishness - too much emphasis on I me, are obstacles to being a community to being a nation,  and is a sin.

Graft we think stem from desire to get rich quickly for self and the family.  Selfishness methink is therefore a crime,  Same as selfishness.

Politics, power play, cruelty, etc comes from this innate desire to be better than the rest.

While our purpose in life is to find our gift (ie being selfish) the next step is to share this with others

Hence without being spiritual, and without having a sense of oneness with the world and rest of community, there could never be a graft free, war free community.  

What do you think?  Is the author correct in his hypothesis

Selfishness is the root of all evil and transgression of the laws of God

It is about getting better...

From Shawne Thomas

From a Bible Devotion

A preacher seemed to have oversimplified sin and salvation by saying that the root of all sins is selfishness.  Say the 7 deadly sins of glutton avarice, greed, jealousy, all stem from love of one self and /or over emphasis on ones desires.  And also the ten Commandments of God - thus thou shalt not steal covet thy neighbors wife etc are all directed against man;s  relentless desire for self gratification and satisfaction of ones desire.

The Lord Jesus Christ has been more positive and simple by enjoining us to love one another as we love our self.   That is depriving ourselves or equaling our love of ourselves and others.  Do you agree?
