the root of all evil

I think the root of all evil is selfishness
Selfish people put themselves first
They do not see, hear or think about others
Selfish people take guns and shoot people

If they were unselfish, they would have empathy.
I cannot see an empathetic person shooting anyone.
If they were unselfish, they would not think rape was okay.
Incest would be a thing of the past.
Child **** would be eliminated

If people were less selfish.
