Why is selfish not good?

Why do you think being selfish is good?

I don't think it's good or bad in the sense of morality. It's just different priorities (yourself or others).

Random shit:

• Editing Works/The Abridged Series - Character development, Cliff Notes style:
  • Fate
    Shirou: I want to save everybody!

    END.
  • UBW
    Shirou: I want to save everybody!
    Archer: That is both a logical contradiction and a denial of the self.
    Shirou: But the ideal encompasses an aesthetic that makes the endless journey worth it. Why can't I selfishly pursue selflessness?
    Archer: FUCK.
    Gilgamesh: MONGRELS! THOSE SWORDS ARE FUCKING PATENTED!

    END.
  • Heaven's Feel
    Shirou: I want to save everybody!
    Archer: That is a logical contradiction and a denial of the self. If you do not realize this, you get no Sakura sex.
    Shirou: You're right. I'm a moral relativist. God is dead.
    Archer: That’s the spirit. Here‘s a present before I go away, don‘t mind it if it starts to kill you.
    Kotomine: But I'm still evil somehow, right?
    Shirou: Right.

    END.
