Going about your life without concern for how your actions affect those around you is what some might call selfish :)

You feel that's the best give you can give yourself. Others might feel the best gift they can give themselves, is a community.

Perhaps a war criminal might find equal personal fulfillment in seeing a wildflower as a doctor. But there's more than one ingredient in a happy life :)

A war criminal, really! You are making this... complicated ;)

1. There is an evil at both extremes -- I do not advocate for either.

2. Life's simple moments include the ones that build up your communities.
