00:00 Selfishness is not about pinching something from a shop without paying for it.
00:05 Or about copying from somebody's answer sheet or
00:08 stealing somebody's assignment and submitting it in your name.
00:11 No, that's not selfishness.
00:13 Selfishness is a great, great virtue.
00:16 Selfishness is self-love. Selfishness is self-knowledge.
00:19 It is superfluous selfishness that we must watch out against.
00:23 True selfishness is something we must aspire for.
00:26 And it's inexorable.
00:28 You are the self, right?
00:30 How can you not be selfish?
00:31 It is your duty towards yourself to be truly selfish.
00:34 If you are not being selfish, then in some sense you are guilty of a crime against yourself.
