I Disagree with David Wallace

I disagree with David Wallace's view that we as people are only concerned with their own existence. There are many people who live their lives predominately to serve others. David Wallace seems to insinuate that that we only do these things to enrich our own lives so that we feel better about ourselves. Of course people (including myself) have done this but there’s no way that you can generalize every one based ln the actions of groups of people, no matter how large. I feel that thinking of one’s self before others is necessary at times, and shouldn’t be thought of as a selfish action. Living for others is not always healthy. Although it is nice and may help other people, it is very beneficial to keep your own personal interests in mind. Mostly due to the fact that you are the only person you can truly depend on to make you happy. No matter how close you are to others you can’t always depend on them to have your interest in mind. They can break of and be concerned with other things at any time. Which leads back to David Wallace’s point that people will really only be concerned with themselves when it comes down to it
