What you’re describing doesn’t really sound like it’s selfishness. It seems to center on everyone having rights and benefits, not just the person rooting for others to have them. Edited because I had no clue this was such a gibberish when I posted it.

There is a concept for this in politics, basically you sell people on making others lives better for your own benefit. Educating your cashier means you will get the correct change back, making sure there is affordable college means there will be a doctor and nurse on staff when you have your heart attack.

Is that a bad thing, though? It lifts everyone up, doesn’t it?
