The world as it is, is a balance of acting selfishly and acting communally (lovingly?). The highest benefit for all, is when everyone acts communally, but there is a higher benefit individually, if you act selfishly, but only when others are acting communally. Its a complicated balance.
I dig it too. Plenty up for grabs.
