Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Says who?
Reptiles, ungulates, apes, chimps, and yes, humans, all behave this way. The only difference is the subtlety with which they display their selfishness.

Life is inherently selfish. Wishing it away won't change that. Waving your hands and saying, "it ain't so" doesn't count for much either.
