Re: Is selfishness unethical? If yes then why?

i don't think looking out for your interest is immoral as long as you don't take advantage of someone else or cheat others or kisi aur ka nuQsaan ker k apna faaida, that is immoral.
as for altruism over self-happiness....hmmm.....that's a personal choice that needs to be made in the particular situation :) altruism would be nobler (and brings with it a certain sense of happiness as well) but choosing self-happiness will not be wrong either...
