    Too much empathy equals retardation.

    There is no universal answer for all humans as we are quite different.

    I have a rather small mouth which is an indicator of selfishness.

    However, I like thinking of it as being selfish to be my best for others.

    If I'm happy, people around me are happier too.

    People are selfish in general i think, but thats not necessarily a bad thing.
    I have almost never met a really generous person (except for 1-2). Who seem as one also has their selfish motives most of the time (not intentionally though but subconsciously).
    I am selfish too imo.

    People are definitely more selfish on average and those who are truly generous tend to get taken advantage of.
    It’s a dog eat dog world, I think people should fend for themselves for the most part but lend out a helping hand when needed.

    Yeah, I'll say most lean to selfish. But I think it's rather normal to be that way. I'm probably pretty average level selfish.

    It's important to work toward generosity.

    Most people in their sane mind are going to be generous to a degree. People with some mental disorder will probably be selfish to a degree.
