In an era marked by so many misrepresentations of personality should not be deemed to have been given due importance to the ego, faced with many situations of disharmony and ethical conduct and moral. It is noticed that the selfishness that has prevailed, although it is constantly confused with individualism, in reality, it is much more complex and compromising for the emotional and psychological structure of human beings. It is therefore interesting to explain first that the word itself is derived from a selfish ego unhealthy, exaggerated, which makes the person think only in itself, to disregard the views of others, relying exclusively of what he understands and believes as your truth. Therefore, it is unaware of otherness, which is the ability and the ability to put yourself in the position and situation of others, to act unselfishly, as their thoughts, feelings and attitudes are always looking to satisfy their own interests. A selfish person carries within him the urgent need to always be the best at everything he does, to be the most interesting person in the group you belong to, to get the unconditional success in all your endeavors. It is always moved by evil-minded, envious of others, covet the things of others, so do not hesitate to always seek a way to kill the one who chose to "rival", using to this end, numerous vile tricks, that do not have any moral support. Hates to be contradicted, and if that should happen, will certainly feel very hurt and bitter with that which, according to his reasoning, dared to defy him. Thereafter, depart for the battle, for revenge, since it is unable to understand the reasons that others have had to act so, nor to analyze their own limitations and disabilities.
To establish itself as one needs to win at any cost and to achieve your goal, do not present the slightest scruple, hesitation or remorse in using lies in situations involving his liability for wrongful acts committed. What counts for him is the realm of his wishes and the advantages that might get throughthe manipulation of those around him. Of course, ignores and disregards any ethical principle, therefore, only concerned with getting what he wants to have and be satisfied withrespect to his ambitions. It is a human being who is always facing the conquest of power,caring little about how it can be achieved, bearing in mind that thinks and acts in a rational manner and never allow itself to be carried away by emotions, not never worrying about the damage and losses that causes to anyone. It follows, therefore, that one is predestined to be susceptible to suffering and therefore learns little from the pain and suffering, as his choices are usually dictated by his ego focused only on himself, not being able to engageand to develop larger and positive feelings, such as solidarity, brotherhood, humility, and especially otherness.
