Dictionary.com definition of selfish:

[ QUOTE ]
devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.

[/ QUOTE ]

Several of you are arguing that a person SHOULD behave in a way devoted only to onself, or at least that one shouldn't let one's parents influence one's decision. What you're saying is, "it's okay to be selfish".

That's a different argument from "it's NOT selfish". So far, Aloysius is the only one making that argument. Interestingly enough, he is also the only one making a valid point.
