# essence
[[selfishness|Selfishness]] is the concern for the wellbeing of the [[self]] at the expense of the wellbeing of the [[world|whole]].
# expansion
Much of our great [[disease|dis-ease]] comes from selfishness. Selfishness is a lack of [[will]] to [[care]] and instead a focus on the [[self]] at the expense of the [[other]]. Selfishness comes from a lack of [[understanding]] of our fundamental [[togetherness]] and therefore of the imperative to take actions that are supportive, not just of yourself, but of the [[wellbeing]] of the whole.
