    No it's not. Selfishness is something we all have to differing degrees, it's that part of us that gives more of a fuck about oneself than others.

    If I smoke around someone who doesn't like smoke, I'm being selfish, despite me not feeling entitled to anything they have.

    On the other hand, if someone owes me money, and they're not paying it me back, I'm not being selfish by feeling entitled to what they have.

    Selfishness is a lack of consideration for others. It's not desire or envy.

    Good point. I certainly didn't mean that.

    When something is more rightfully Bill's than rightfully Ted's, if Ted acts upon his a feeling of deserving what is more rightfully Bill's, Ted is selfish.
