Selfishness

Two friends and I were having a conversation many days ago, and I am gracious enough to give them thanks for my topic tonight- selfishness. What does it mean to be selfish really?  Where does a line get drawn between being selfish and just saying no and consequently putting yourself first?  According to Webster, selfish has two meanings that are applicable:    1. concerned excessively or exclusively with oneself   :   seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being without regard for others 2. arising from concern with one's own welfare or advantage in disregard of others.
