Mr. Kosenic, you speak of selfishness and you define it as the will to receive, if I am not mistaken. I am a Spanish speaker and sometimes concepts can be different in English ( English is my second language). I will try to explain this: in Spanish egoismo is ” Immoderate and excessive love of self, which makes one pay excessive attention to one’s own interests, without taking care of the interests of others.” which translated into English would be something like “Immoderate and excessive love of self, which makes one pay excessive attention to one’s own interests, without taking care of the interests of others.” I looked in the Oxford dictionary and found this definition of egoism “a person who thinks that he or she is better than other people and who thinks and talks too much about himself or herself.” Well, for me both definitions are quite similar in this case although the Spanish definition seems to me a bit stronger. Now, when you talk about egoism, are you referring to those two definitions as well?
