Selfishness

I think it would be beneficial to conduct a study that shows the exact breakdown, percent-wise, of those who are born with compassion and deeply care about helping and affecting other people, and those of us (yes, I said us) who do everything with the end goal of ourselves.

No, really, I'm actually curious. It seems that there are is an awful lot of fakeness floating in the atmosphere, and its clogging up the system. For instance, since I spend a great deal of time projecting myself into the social media world, I find that many "professionals" and "experts" inundate the tweeting world solely to gain followers, not because they have a sudden desire to help their neighboring small business triple in size and reputation.

Or when you do things for acquaintances and coworkers and people that just aren't quite on your Top 5 speed-dial list, are you doing favors because you want to or because you want to reap the benefits next week when it will undoubtedly matter to you?

Am I way off?
