>>It’s not that people in the City or on Wall Street are necessarily bad people, it’s just that they, like almost anyone, will do anything to keep their million or ten million dollar paycheck. They’ll creatively interpret data, they’ll understate risks, they’ll put the best spin on things. Some will lie, cheat, and steal. But most of them, like most of us, will simply resist looking at the world from any perspective other than their own. And if we are intelligent, we will keep a careful watch on them - both now and into the distant future.<< this selfishness is merely not caring for others equal to oneself. that is how jesus defined sin and he claimed society could never work when people didn't value others equal to themselves. in fact, he said we'd eventually destroy humanity off the face of the earth (if he didn't directly intervene and stop it). of course, that doesn't make us bad people. ;-) believe him or not, the insight of this donkey rider has proven to be quite profound.
