Hit the nail right on the head.
While our parents’ generation wasn’t without its problems, it seems to me that people today put more of an emphasis on “me, me, me and MY problems and MY wants and MY needs and MY way of doing things, etc.” We need to be selfish sometimes…there are instances where it’s necessary to put our well being before others’. But that selfishness has to be balanced with selflessness. Neither extreme is good.
