It's not selfish. Yes, we are all fortunate to an extent. You may argue we are all fortunate to be alive, you may argue we are only fortunate if we live a good life.
I can argue you were fortunate enough to experience this reality. I appreciate it can have a great effect on one, but for those not fortunate enough to experience this, cannot be excused of selfishness.
I think I could debate this for a while.. But the answers will only be the obvious (which to me are pretty clear)
Everyone does the best they can to further their lives, you are a prime example. But for tonight, a debate of foreign world affairs is too bigger topic, maybe save it for next week?
