Why have we become so selfish?

I think desire to increase one's knowledge is nothing selfish. You get double benefit by reading as many articles as you can

True , some things and some people never change no matter what...

There's a fine line between looking after one's need  and being self-centred. If you are capable of helping others and it won't affect you negatively, then you should definitely do it. 

I don't think Facebook and Twitter contribute towards increasing selfishness in the society. That is just a stereotype. And a foolish one at that.

Does not make any sense except get you points ..

Taking care of our loved ones and children is the most natural thing and there is nothing selfish about it. It's the natural human nature. This love that we share for our family teaches us to be affectionate toward others. But sometimes in today's world we are so consumed by our work, our commitments that we sometimes forget to be empathetic toward others. If something happens to our neighbors, many times people choose to remain silent. This is why social gatherings, cultural activities and functions are so important. It brings people together.

We have become selfish because we lead a self-centered life with greedy nature. We compare ourselves with others and we feel that we are not better than those persons. We are not ready to think people who are poor and those who are in need.

Selfie and selfish are inevitable in our society. We are not even ready to come out of our selfish and greedy nature. This clearly shows us how much selfish we are.

It is a growing trend .. nuclear families in a way breed selfishness which is part of a social change. It is not possible to reverse the process, so it grows ..

We became materialistic. Now a days we love things and use people where it is supposed to be vice versa.
