Have you ever heard the expression "everyone always acts in their own self-interest"? This is something I've heard for a long time and it's never really sat well with me. It took longer than it should have, but what frustrates me is that it simply isn't true. It's also an oversimplification of human personality that harms how we all collaborate. It is simple to demonstrate that it is not true simply looking at parents. How many times do parents, particularly moms, give up their lives, their needs, dreams, and desires in order for their children to prosper? The reason I have more than one child is perhaps the best example of this.
