Good or Selfish?

I think that most people only care about themselves. In the book The Most Dangerous Catch General Zaroff said, "Life is for the strong, to be lived by the strong, and, if need be, taken by the strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure." He has no feeling for the people that are weak or even just less stronger than him. And in the book, Cask of Amontillado, the murder is the kind of guy who only cares about themselves because he enjoyed killing someone else. Those are the type on antagonists that will never change being selfish and will always stay wicked.
I personally can say that yes, I have had my selfish times. For example, one time my friend was going through a hard time of her parents divorcing, but all I wanted to talk about was a break up figured out that I was putting a break-up before my best friends feelings and emotions so I turned it around and helped her through it. So everyone in the world does it, but it all depends on how much you do it, and also if you learn from it. As every day goes by I mature more and become less selfish. I don't take what I have for granted anymore, I give more than I take, and I put other people before myself.
