The world is so competitive, aggressive, consumive, selfish and during the time we spend here we must be all but that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think we are living in selfish times. I'm the first one to say that I'm the most selfish. We live in the so-called 'first world,' and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
We're fighting to be ourselves in a world that's trying to make us like everyone else.
We live in a time today where we face fierce global competition.
The whole brunt of the media and the government is to encourage people to be highly competitive and totally selfish and uncaring of others.
You know, we're really destroying ourselves because we're really making the motivating force of anything we do selfish.
The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
We all seem to be about aggression and greed. It's a massive pressure that affects us all.
We're all basically made of the same stuff: generosity and selfishness, goodness and greed.
We are all born brave, trusting and greedy, and most of us remain greedy.
I think that in today's world, by nature, we are all self-centered. And that often leads to selfishness.
